Does anyone know how to find files that are being written to disk?
Specifically, I want to be able to find media files which are being
cached by my web browser. For example, when you watch a video on CNN or
Fox News, the video is not downloadable but is cached to disk somewhere.
I need to be able to find this cached file on my disk. I've thought
about using lsof, but I don't know how it would work for this case
exactly.
