Hi Jens, it would be nice if an information is printed out if direct I/O has been used: Instead of -------- /usr/local/bin/fio --rw=write --direct=1 --name=usb --filename=/dev/sdb1 usb: (g=0): rw=write, bs=4K-4K/4K-4K, ioengine=sync, iodepth=1 -------- I suggest -------- /usr/local/bin/fio --rw=write --direct=1 --name=usb --filename=/dev/sdb1 usb: (g=0): rw=write, bs=4K-4K/4K-4K, ioengine=sync, direct=1, iodepth=1 -------- So I can verify if the page cache has been used for a test when inspecting the output files. -Georg -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe fio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
