seeking way to see which filesystems are written most often
by SaintDanBert from LinuxQuestions.org on (#55RAW)
Will someone direct me to some method where I discover which filesystems -- folders and files -- are written most often?
For example, on a workstation with a small amount of RAM, the SWAP filesystem will see a large amount of write activity. Likewise, logfiles, mail and spools files are frequently written on /var.
I can use find ... and search mtime and ctime.
then parse the list to get counts, yada yada. I'm hoping there is a
better way.
Thanks in advance,
