Ext3 users - Nov 2007 - File System Traces

Hello All,

I'm trying to collect the following information about an application at the
file system layer:

Type of request - Read/Write
Sector Number to which the request is directed - to which the request is
directed
Time of request

Can anyone pls let me know what changes should I make in which modules to
extract this information? Thanks a lot!!

I'd probably use Jens Axboe's blktrace, google can find it for you (or,
fedora has rpms, other distros probably do to)

the vm.block_dump sysctl might also help.
