You're right. What I want really is to be able to bind to a netlink socket and get told about particular file IO operations I'm interested in for the /whole/ of a filesystem. The same kind of thing that real time anti-virus/anti-spam people want to do anyway. Thanks for the links, Chris. I've not been following Beagle development (lost interest after the OLS talk got cancelled) very closely so wasn't aware of the current implementation.
