Can systemtap help in this case?


We've recently ran into an issue on one of our RHEL5.6 servers where our MBR
is being zero'd out.  We are trying to identify if this is a vendor app
causing this which does do queries on disk that are on the system and does
have the capability of wiping disk, but isn't suppose to touch sda*.  Vendor
says this isn't possible for there app to do this and pretty much told us to
not open a case about this again. I was hoping systemtap might be able to
say yay or nay on this.  I'm not familar with the language systemtap uses,
but was hoping to know if this is something that systemtap could provide
insight on what is causing the MBR to be zero'd out if it is truly software
related and not hardware.  Any guidance/examples would be greatly
appreciated and apologies in advance for the lack of knowledge on systemtap.
