I agree, although the vast majority of applications don't use O_DIRECT.
anwyay, the direct i/o results were in the email:
direct i/o dd
write/read 800/751 MB/s
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=1M count=5000 oflag=direct
dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/sdc bs=1M count=5000 iflag=direct
I couldn't find a direct i/o option for lmdd.
cheers,
