Subject: Writes in idle/How to debug filesystem activity
Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2011 22:13:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E5BF2CE.9060604@lophus.org> (raw)
Hallo list,
I use btrfs on a SD card. When my computer is running in idle (i.e.
nothing running but wmii and a few background tasks that don't do any
i/o; freshly synced), from time to time some [btrfs-*] tasks do writes
(for 5 seconds or so). What are those processes doing on my disk,
having nothing to write/read? That leads to the second question: How can
I debug file system activity in inotify style?
Thanks,
Jonas
