Re: Terrible performance of sequential O_DIRECT 4k writes in SAN environment. ~3 times slower then Solars 10 with the same HBA/Storage.

On my laptop SSD I get the following results (sometimes up to 200MB/s,
sometimes down to 100MB/s, always in the 40k to 50k IOps range):

time elapsed (sec.):	5
bandwidth (MiB/s):	160.00
IOps:			40960.00

The IOps are more than the hardware is physically capable of, but given
that you didn't specify O_SYNC this seems sensible given that we never
have to flush the disk cache.

Could it be that your array has WCE=0?  In Linux we'll never enable the
cache automatically, but Solaris does at least when using ZFS.  Try
running:

   sdparm --set=WCE /dev/sdX

and try again.
