rfsdelta Description

rfsdelta is a kernel module for the Linux 2.6 series that collects all filesystem inode changes. rfsdelta is a kernel module for the Linux 2.6 series that collects all filesystem inode changes (recursively) and reports them to a userspace process.It is similar to inotify, dnotify (but provides recursive notification, and only a single watcher process is allowed), fschange, fsevent, and rlocate (but also reports unlink(), rmdir(), and st_*).This project was based on the kernel module shipped with rlocate 0.5.5.Limitations:· Only one watch per system: the 2nd attempt to open rfsdelta-events will give `Device or resource busy'.· Doesn't work with rlocate.ko or any other security module (registered with register_security()). A subsequent call to register_security will yield `Invalid parameters'. (This shouldn't be hard to fix provided that rlocate.ko is the first security module to be loaded.)How to compile and installYou need a Linux 2.6 kernel source tree, and a kernel with these settings: CONFIG_MODULES=y CONFIG_SECURITY=y CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITES: disabled or module (=m)In the folder containing `rfsdelta', run $ makeThis has built the rfsdelta.ko kernel module.As root, run this to try: # insmod rfsdelta.ko # cat /proc/rfsdelta # rmmod rfsdeltaAs root, run these to install: # make install # modprobe rfsdeltaTo try it, as root start # tr ' 00' 'n' You can change a couple of settings in /proc/rfsdelta. Run this commandas root: # echo '< key >:< value >' >/proc/rfsdeltaWhat's New in This Release:· Some in-kernel locking and synchronization issues were fixed. log_writes support (i.e. reporting changes of file contents) was added.
