To verify Jan's theory, can you try to preallocate the file to the full size and then run the benchmark by doing a: # fallocate -l <size> <filename> and then run it? If that's indeed the issue I'd be happy to implement the "real aio" append support for you as well. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
