log of files modified

[Bob Kryger]

Is there a way to have nfsd (server side) tell me if a file has been
opened for write, at about the time of the open? Possibly log the event
to a file?

I want to know which files in a file system have been changed for backup.

Thanks
Bob

I haven't thought about this one recently, but it might not be.

Well, that is different. The server (nfsd) should know when a file
is actually changed, which is a different question from opening
for write. One might open a file for read/write without intending
to actually write anything. Systems that log the modification
time should update that as appropriate when a write is actually
done.
