Hello all, I am writing an application which would create a backup for the system so that it could be restored as it is. For example I create a backup using my application. I just do nothing at time of backup so it would be fast. Now whenever I see any deletion I would save that file so that I could restore it. Also I would like to see for modification/rename. I cannot do this using inotify as I would be notified after actual deletion/write. I don't want to use SELinux because I want to implement this on existing installed system. I was earlier thinking of replacing system calls for open/unlink with my custom calls which will call my functions before actual work and then I would decide what to do I would also want to reject unlink request for some of the files. But as I now know that its not working in linux>3.0 . I had also seen dazuko which is not supporting linux>3.0 yet. Also there used to be a redirfs which used to work earlier but the latest kernel is not supported yet. I think a method could be to replace unlink in syscall table with my unlink function but I don't find any good method of doing that, as syscall table is no longer exported. I would like to implement this in a kernel module instead of modifying kernel code itself. Please suggest some method of doing that. Thanks to you all for your help. -- Thanks and Regards , Gaurav -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
