Since nobody else has replied, perhaps you should look at the
inotifywatch command. Disclaimer: I've never used it.
"man inotifywatch" says:
DESCRIPTION
inotifywatch listens for filesystem events using Linux's inotify(7)
interface, then outputs a summary count of the events received on
each file or directory.
OUTPUT
inotifywatch will output a table on standard out with one column for
each type of event and one row for each watched file or directory.
The table will show the amount of times each event occurred for
each watched file or directory. Output can be sorted by a particular
event using the -a or -d options.
Looks promising.
You might also consider what fielsystem to use for your new partition.
For example, XFS makes a deliberate attempt to store files physically
close to their directories for performance reasons.
Cheers,
