You need the inotifywatch command from the package sys-fs/inotify-tools
on Gentoo, don't know the Debian/RH name but I guess it'll be similar.
To quote the man page:
inotifywatch listens for filesystem events using Linux's inotify(7)
interface, then outputs a summary count of the events received on each
file or directory.
Set it to watch the files of directory tree you are interested in over a
period. It then prints a useful stats table. ie:
$ inotifywatch ~rjd/*
Establishing watches...
Finished establishing watches, now collecting statistics.
