Any other ideas? Hi Liviu, I think your best solution is to use inotify-tools. It'll let you set up watchers on files or directories (optionally recursively) to see any file activity that happens there in realtime.

[gentoo-user] which file is currently being written to disk?
Dear all Is there some utility (console or otherwise) that could indicate me NOT the output/input read/write and miscellanea, but simply which files are currently being written to the disk. Sometimes my browser (Opera) downloads some big temporary files, and usually I have a difficult time locating them. I've tried lsof | grep opera but the output is messy and not really helpful. Any other ideas?
