This cannot be done reliably if it is noisy, or one would have to wait until
the buffer was full before you could feel the memory dump to the hard drive.
This would be a poor solution for a hopelessproblem. Sounds like there is a
better solution being conceived.

But you may not need to do this -- just pick up the unit or put your
ear close to it and after a short time you will hear the disk make a
noise and that will tell you if it is recording, unless there is
somethingwrong.
