The actual test is available in this file: https://download.01.org/0day-ci/archive/20240131/202401312320.a335db14-oliver.sang@xxxxxxxxx/repro-script I haven't found anything in that file for disabling merging. Merging requests decreases IOPS. Does this perhaps mean that this test is broken? Thanks, Bart.
