1 Hi,
2
3 with
4
5 sysctl vm.block_dump=1
6
7 one can enable the logging of IO to the harddisk/flashmem/...
8 into dmesg.
9 The logs report the block number of the file in question...
10 but not the filename itsself.
11
12 Is there any other way as examine each single file of the
13 filesystem to find the file to which a certain block number
14 is assigned?
15
16 Thank you very mcuh for any help!
17 Best regards,
18 Meino
