Abstract
Example implementations relate to data storage. An example includes inspecting a block level input/output (I/O) request to be executed by a block-based storage device, and in response to a determination that the block level I/O request includes a filesystem operation, generating a copy of the block level I/O request. The example also includes parsing the copy of the block level I/O request to extract a plurality of attributes of the filesystem operation, where the parsing is asynchronous to an execution of the block level I/O request by the block-based storage device. The example also includes storing the extracted plurality of attributes of the filesystem operation in an entry of a filesystem operation database, where each entry of the filesystem operation database is associated with a different filesystem operation in a filesystem stored on the block-based storage device.
