Examples of fsslower-nd.stp, the Linux SystemTap version. This tool prints event-by-event details for each file system synchronous read or write slower than a threshold. It works by dynamically traces two common file system functions: do_sync_read() and do_sync_write(). Many, but not all, file systems and workloads use these functions. Tracing their time provides one view of suffered file system latency. Tracing FS sync reads and writes slower than 5 ms: # ./fsslower-nd.stp 5 Tracing FS sync reads and writes slower than 5 ms...

As this is designed to be a non-debuginfo tool, there are not that many details available. Investigate further using other tools and custom SystemTap.
