I want to trace the modification history of a specific file. Does linux have commands allow me to get some details like who, when, did what(access, write, execute).
eg.
bob:adm read $timestamp
alice:user write $timestamp
I know stat can do some of it, but can it also show me who/group modified the file?
Most File Systems simply don’t track those data.
Journaling file systems track them (at least the write operations) but usually just the last ones.
Without a very specific file system, you won’t have those data.
