If you're on a Mac or Solaris, dtrace will tell you everything you want to know (and more.) If you're not familiar with dtrace, iosnoop.d is a good start for this kind of measurement.

At Technorati, I used dtrace to build a trace file of all the read requests made by a big lucene app, recording timestamp, file, offset, and number of bytes read. Among other things, the measurement led me to decrease the heap size of the JVM so that more of the index would fit in the file cache.
