Don't apologize for that.

So my current question is why you are mentioning ext3? The test case you provided is reading and writing directly to the CCISS device, not a file inside a file system hosted on that device. Also, please try a make clean && make && make install in your fio directory. Sometimes things get hosed when updates are pulled, which may explain why yours is acting up. -- Jens Axboe
