I think blktrace would work for my situation, checking for any program
that
writes to the harddisk.
But some advantages of loggedfs are:
It takes as an input a directory, not a device. This makes it more
flexible
(for purposes other than my own).
It is a fuse filesystem, so it might not require root permissions
unlike
blktrace. (I haven't actually tried loading it as non-root.)
It doesn't require debugfs compiled into kernel. It doesn't require
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE turned on.
It looks like blktrace might report more events. I'm not sure though.
