--- Comment #6 from Theodore Tso <tytso@....edu>  2010-01-02 17:54:54 ---
You need to compile kernel with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE and then you need to
make sure that the debugfs file system is mounted in /sys/kernel/debug, i.e.:

    mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug

The following documentation is from 2007, so there are some newer features (and
the underlying implementation has moved to using ftrace), but the basic user
interface hasn't changed much:
