Is there a Linux equivalent to the Mac OS X command fs_usage? According to the man page it does the following: "report system calls and page faults related to filesystem activity in real-time".

I suppose one option would be to use strace and filter the data, however the fs_usage command allows all the processes running on the system to be "traced" at the same time.

Here's an example output:

03:44:25  stat64            erences/ByHost/org.mozilla.firefox.69AC0B48-F675-5045-B873-A28B119C33E7.plist     0.000029   firefox     
03:44:25  stat64            /Users/**********/Library/Preferences                                             0.000011   firefox     
03:44:25  statfs64          /Users/**********/Library/Preferences                                             0.000004   firefox     
03:44:25  open              /Users/**********/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist.lockfile          0.000090   firefox     
03:44:25  stat64            /Users/**********/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist                   0.000004   firefox     
03:44:25  stat64            /Users/**********/Library/Preferences                                             0.000002   firefox     
03:44:25  open              /Users/**********/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist.vjLkANe           0.000100   firefox   

Any ideas?
