Re: linux-2.6.0-test2-mm4 O_DIRECT

[RaTao <ratao@toxyn.org>]

Hi Andrew, Daniel!

Just recompiled test2-mm4 and I tested it with:

time iozone -f hello.data -i 0 -s 50000 -r 1 -I

(-I enables O_DIRECT, I straced it and fopen has O_DIRECT flag)

and everything works great! My app is working too!! I can't understand 
it but everything is fine, now.

I'm sorry for wasting your time :(

Thanks,
Ratao
