Is there a way in linux to montior file writes?

I have something that is writing to the disk every 5:th second (approx.)
And I don't know what it is.. In windows I had a small program called
FileMonitor that where quite good in this situation.

Is there such a program i linux? If not, is it because the kernel does not
provide this information. Maybe there is needed some new hooks to make it
possible?

lsof will tell you what files are open and what applications are using
them.

probably kupdate ... look for noflushd on freshmeat.net and read the
docs.
