Just to follow up, I wrote a test script looping 20 iterations of fio and tested 2.1.12 vs 2.1.14. 2.1.14 consistently finished ~2.7 seconds faster than 2.1.12, which I think is great for only 20 iterations. Just for kicks, I also tried setting disk_util=0, but could not conclude that it made any difference. -- 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
