Yeah, you probably want to strip out the data portion of any read() or write() calls shown in the trace. BTW, I forgot to ask for timestamp information in the trace --- if you didn't use -t please do it over. It might be possible to get strace to skip the read/write data by itself so you don't have to do it manually, but I don't see anything obvious in its help output. regards, tom lane
