Using ramdisk is not uncommon as an LIO backend via ib_srpt to serve LUNS. That is the same way I do it when I am not connected to a large array as it is the only way I can get EDR like speeds. I don't thinks its racing due to the ramdisk back-end but maybe we need to ramp ours up to run more in parallel in a loop. I will run 21 parallel runs and see if it makes a difference tonight and report back tomorrow. Clearly prior to your final patches we were escaping back to the FS layer with errors but since your patches, at least in out test harness that is resolved.
