[clue] file-system activity logging

audit / auditd / kernel auditing is definitely the most correct answer to my original question. I'd run into it during my mad Googling, but I had gotten the (false) impression that it only watched specific files.

Now, I'm working on a follow-up question: Is there a way to hook the mounting of a file-system (or just nfs file systems). i.e.: What if the nfs resource I care about auditing gets mounted at an unexpected location after I've begun auditing?

Ideally, I want to be able to confidently say that I've audited every file open attempt over nfs during a particular window of time.

Google, google, read, study...
