Something similar to omirr already exists, it has been implemeted in Irix, and is underway for FreeBSD. The userland tool is called 'webd', and although the name implies web, it could be used extensively in other arenas, such as a realtime tripwire. I would dearly love to see the kernel level stuff ('fmon' under FreeBSD) be ported (in concept at least) to Linux..
