Concerning the info gathering aspect I recently found "fatrace" which is fa-trace not fat race. It shows what is happening instantly, unlike my alias "what changed"

Code: Select all

find $1 -type f -print0 | xargs -0 stat --format '%Y :%y %n' | sort -nr | cut -d: -f2- | head -n 20
that I was using.

Maybe not the correct args to get everything, because it missed things.

With fatrace I could tell right away what was happening, which made it easier to get exactly what I needed.

Sounds intriguing, I test it now…

Added in 4 minutes 49 seconds:

Code: Select all

root@rava:~# fatrace 
fatrace: Failed to add watch for /: No such device
fatrace: Failed to add watch for /mnt/sdb4: No such device

Seems I am not intelligent enough to use fatrace. Oh well, I can live with that. B)

And yes, I downloaded FA-TRACE.txt and looked into it. Just felt like using it without any parameters anyway. :D
Cheers!
