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. |
