+loggedfs (filesystem monitoring with FUSE)
+
+LoggedFS is a fuse-based filesystem which can log every operation that
+happens in it. LoggedFS only sends a message to syslog (or a file) when
+called by fuse and then let the real filesystem do the rest of the job.
+
+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.
