Hello all,

I am currently performing a research project that involves modifying
the Xen hypervisor to monitor how specific data is being manipulated
within the VMs.  I've just started looking at the architecture of Xen
as well as briefly going over some of the source code.  Before I go
any further though, I'd like to ask a few questions:

1) How practical is it for me to implement this? I need to determine
which exact files are being modified.  My solution does not have to be
a pure hypervisor-based solution.  I could use paravirtualization to
inspect the internals of the OS if necessary.
2) Has anyone done something similar? and if so, what are some of the
challenges they've run up against using Xen?
3) Besides looking at the Xen wiki, Xen source code, and Xen
documentation, are there other useful sources I can use?

Thanks,
J
