There also appear to be bugs, where newly created directories are not immediately watched so changes in them can be missed. It also takes some time to install the watchers. For example, inotifywatch (/man/1/inotifywatch) mentions by default the limit of watches is just 8k. Then I looked into inotify-based solutions, but it seems like it is impractical for monitoring everything starting from /. It also does not seem like it could just be overlaid on / (this hides some stuff from the layer). Take your password manager on the go with mobile apps for your phone or tablet device. Type the following command to install the package: sudo dpkg -i b. In this example, b is kept in /tmp directory: cd /tmp. Open a terminal and then cd to directory where b is kept. The best I could find was mini_fo but it seems it hasn't been maintained since 2006. Install and Sync All of Your Devices Mobile. To install a single package file called /tmp/b type the following commands. Next I looked into layered file systems, thinking before I started the app install I'd put in a layered file system and then install the app on the layered file system, and then find out all the modifications that happened in the layer. I first went looking for an application that could monitor another application to find all file system modifications the other app did. Even though rpm and deb have file lists, their post install scripts could do additional file system modifications. Most likely the installed package is an rpm or deb, but an app could of course be simply copied over or compiled and installed with the configure make make install way.

I need to find out all the file system modifications an installer did.
