[PATCH v6 4/6] smartpqi: add host attributes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add in some host level sysfs entries:
enable_stream_detection - Send RAID 5/6 writes down the normal I/O path.
                          Allow for full-stripe write requests.
ssd_smart_path_enabled  - Indicates that our Accelerated I/O path is
                          enabled. (AIO).
enable_r5_writes        - Allow RAID 5 write operations down the AIO path.
enable_r6_writes        - Allow RAID 6 write operations down the AIO path.
