Traces of filesystem activity have proven to be useful for a wide variety of purposes, ranging from quantitative analysis of system behavior to trace-driven simulation of filesystem algorithms. Such traces can be difficult to obtain, however, usually entailing modification of the filesystems to be monitored and runtime overhead for the period of the trace. Largely because of these difficulties, a surprisingly small number of filesystem traces have been conducted, and few sample workloads are available to filesystem researchers.
