I'm trying to do direct io (to avoid the file system cache) on Ubuntu i386. I've tried direct=1, and tried the io engines sync and libaio - it always seems to use the cache. Is there a way to bypass the file system cache on Ubuntu? I've got a vanilla install using the automated Ubuntu installer for Windows i386 32-bit (dual boot). fio version: 2.0.8- Greg. -- 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
