Active File System
Deb Deppeler, Evan Greenland
Abstract:
The Active File System (active), an extension of the minix file system for Linux,
provides automatic logging of individual file operations. In addition, we
present a prototype of a file access auditing system as a configurable
option available both internally within the active module and as an external
user level program which communicates with the file system module and
describe how the prototype can be extended to support the execution of
arbitrary user commands in response to file operations. Timing tests are
provided that prove the viability of these different approaches.
