Re: writes to unmounted partitions

Hi,

IIRC, blktrace is designed to monitor such I/O events at the block level. Try it :)

Ok I will try that. I was thinking about it and something that made it clear to me is : "Since its writing to the actual disk through /dev/sdaX the kernel knows about it, since its the one that is translating the writes from the /dev/sdaX file to the actual disk" Regards.
