Tool for watching changes in FS

Tool for watching changes in FS

[Karsten Becker]

Hi,
I Still got my problem with files under linux on my fat32, so i got the 
idea to watch changes under windows and compare with changes under linux.
Has anyone an idea of how to do this?
What I'm missing are tools for windows to readout fat. And a good 
instruction on howto and where to debug fs-modules.
What I would like to do:
Snapshot of Fat under Windows
Create file
Snapshot again
Boot Linux
Snapshot under Linux
Debug driver and see where he wants to write data too -> compare windows 
(don't really write as it might crash data)

Cheers,
Karsten

Perhaps a block device filter that logs writes could work?  This is tricky insofar as you may have to deal with recursion from writing the log, but it's a known problem.
