is it possible to monitor a file system to see what files have been open (and closed), and if so, how? The device in this case would be a USB CD-rom drive and the filesystem would be the disk in it.
The inotify system may do the trick for you. See "man 7 inotify" for details. I expect there must be some handy utilities around that use it.
Would that really work? I was under the impression that inotify was using file system attributes and since a CD is read-only the attributes can't be updated/modified.
