Hi,

I've a problem on using fio:
"buffered=bool If value is true, use buffered io. This is the opposite
of the 'direct' option. Defaults to true."
So what kind of buffer mean for this option? Is that mean kernel cache
or user space buffer?

'direct' and 'buffered' control the same thing, they are just opposites.
Both refer to the use of kernel file cache bypass.
