LoggedFS only sends a message to syslog (or a file) +when called by fuse and then lets the real filesystem do the rest of +the job. + +There is a sample config file installed as /etc/loggedfs.xml, for use +with the -c option. + +Note: loggedfs doesn't cross filesystem boundaries. If you e.g. have +/usr/local mounted as a separate partition, monitoring /usr won't +also monitor /usr/local (though you can always run another instance of +loggedfs in that case). + +Slackware note: since Slackware's /etc/mtab is a regular file (not +a symlink to /proc/mounts), killing a loggedfs process causes its +/etc/mtab entry to stay. This makes it look like the filesystem is +still mounted, though it actually isn't. To avoid this, always use +"fusermount -u" to cleanly umount the fs, which will also make the +loggedfs process exit. |
