But if we want to keep a track of all the files that are opened, read, written or deleted (much like filemon; ``Filemon's timestamping feature will show you precisely when every open, read, write or delete, happens, and its status column tells you the outcome."), we can write a simple patch that makes a note of these events on the VFS layer, and then we could export this information to userspace, via relayfs. It wouldn't be too hard to code a relatively efficient implementation.

 Doesn't auditing do all this?

I have no idea about auditing, but I would guess it internally uses inotify.
