This is due to the change in thinktime, fixing the unreasonable latencies. Effectively it reduces your queue depth to what thinktime_blocks is set to, which is 1 by default. Even if set to the queue depth, you will still be completely draining the software queue for every N thinktime_blocks. I'm guessing your device has write caching enabled, hence the change is basically only apparent on reads. The writes queue up nicely on the hw side still. -- Jens Axboe -- 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
