hello,
My problem is:
on a read-only file system , I want to log the write acces to the files of this filesystem
can you help me to find a solution
thanks
 
Please clarify. You have a file system that you mount as read-only and would like to know who tries (and fails) to modify anything on it, correct?
 
Well, there are a few options. You could turn on the auditd or look for host-based IPS (intrusion prevention system). One example is Open Source Tripwire.
 
Thanks you for your replay
I prefer to use an integrated service to the operating system
 
The name of the package (RedHat, Centos, Debian, etc) is audit and it is native to Linux. It's typically installed by default.
