Need help! windows file I/O address traces
I'm currently studying file access pattern
for simulation, I need to know windows file I/O traces(especially disk level address(LBA or P-CHS?))
I've tried Administrative Tool's Performance Monitoring, but that only show me like : transfer size, reponse time, file object address..
Is there any way to get lower-level traces?
hmm..and I also want to know where the disk address translation occur, and which address is used for each level(OS, FS, BIOS, DISK Controller)

One great utility that accomplishes much of what you desire is found here (http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/filemon.shtml). It does what you would have to do if you wanted to catch these access patterns programmatically (basically a ring0 driver that hooks into the file access services) and it works on most of the Windows operating systems...

I downloaded that utility, and it's much useful for me!
