Can you share all the job files or fio invocations for each of these? I guess it's just two variants, with QD varied between them? We really (REALLY) should turn the nvme-wip branch into something coherent, but at least with this we have some idea of an end result and something that is testable. This looks so much better from the performance POV than the earlier versions, passthrough _should_ be faster than non-pt. -- Jens Axboe
