Monitoring floppy disk access - linux

I've been trying to find a way to monitor whenever the floppy disk is
actually being accessed under linux. I don't mean just when it is
mounted, I mean more like when it is actually read. (ie, the first time
you do an ls, but not if you did two ls's in a row and it just read it
from memory the second time). I'm trying to calculate the time that my
floppy drive is actually in use.
I don't even know where to start looking for this answer. Unless
I missed something, Gkrellm doesn't seem to be able to monitor
disk activity from the floppy, or else I could extract the information
from there somehow.
