Editor to share with you the use of linux's inotifywatch command to collect statistics about monitored file systems. I hope you will learn a lot after reading this article. Let's discuss it together.

[root@linuxcool] # inotifywatch-z / linuxcool

The specified events generated by the statistical directory:
