fs_usage doesn't seem to give me the absolute path and it also truncates the path beyond a certain length as it has says in the man pages. It is my understanding that the FreeBSD file system, which is the one used in the Darwin kernel of Mac OS is stackable. Is writing a loadable module on top of this a better option?

And what I mean is that a file may have more than

location, and that it wouldn't surprise me if inside

the kernel there

is no notion of "the path" to a file, only some

location on disk

(possibly together with whatever the user specified,

but as you noted

that does not have to be a complete path)
