"ktrace -di -p0 -ti" is the closest we have at the moment, but that
only logs the I/O actions themselves, not the syscalls generating the
I/O. Removing the "-ti" flag will tell ktrace to log all I/O and all
syscall activity, which may be information overload. If you're only
interested in a single process, take a look at the truss command.
If/when the port of Solaris' dtrace is completed, it will be able to do
exactly what you want and more.
