Subject: Possible O_DIRECT problems ?
Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2001 00:08:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20011221000806.A26849@suse.de> (raw)
Andrea, lk,
I just experimented with O_DIRECT in conjunction with fsx,
and the results aren't pretty.
Over NFS it survives around 921 operations, all local filesystems
(ext2,ext3,reiser tested) just 6 operations.
I've put the source to a modified fsx at
http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/cruft/fsx-odirect.c
It's possible I've done something wrong here, so look it over.
Just adding O_DIRECT flag to open() should be all thats necessary
correct ?
Also note, that by changing the flags on line 988 to have O_DIRECT
also, we get different failure type.
So, did I get the usage of O_DIRECT correct and find some bugs,
or have I had a little too much xmas spirits already ? 8-)
Dave.
