fatrace (file access trace) fatrace reports file access events from all running processes. Its main purpose is to find processes which keep waking up the disk unnecessarily and thus prevent some power saving. Included is a python3 script called "power-usage-report", which uses fatrace and powertop to build a textual report from one minute of measuring power usage and file accesses. This does not take any arguments or require any interactivity, so it's very simple to use and serves as a starting point for bug reports or optimizing a particular installation. fatrace has self-test scripts that can be run during the build. These are disabled by default, because they create a file outside of the temp directory (/etc/test.txt). If you want to run the tests, export RUNTESTS=yes in the environment.
