It will generate more output than you need, but file names should be obvious, and you can use grep to further filter the output. Thanks Tobias, I'll give strace a shot. Regarding th logging - I'm not entirely convinced that this would be a space/performance issue for most use-cases, such as this personal/work laptop with email, code, photos and media. I wouldn't expect to be generating new files or modifying existing files at such a rate that the logging would create a problem, and log rotation would take care of the wasted space eventually.
