	I think blktrace would work for my situation, checking for any program that 
writes to the harddisk.
	But some advantages of loggedfs are:
	It takes as an input a directory, not a device. This makes it more flexible 
(for purposes other than my own).
	It is a fuse filesystem, so it might not require root permissions unlike 
blktrace. (I haven't actually tried loading it as non-root.)
	It doesn't require debugfs compiled into kernel.  It doesn't require 
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE turned on.
	It looks like blktrace might report more events.  I'm not sure though.
