EEP!! I forgot all about buffer alignment!! Thanks for pointing it out
:)
------------------
Two more questions.
1. Is aio_fsync of any use while 'aio_read'ing and 'aio_write'ing to
a 'raw' device or a '/dev/sdb' with O_DIRECT?
2. I have an Ultra320 SCSI disk whose datasheet says it has a max.
possible throughput of 78MBps
I did a 'aio_write' onto '/dev/sdb' with O_DIRECT.
Following are some throughput values.
Buffer for IO | Avg Speed
(in KBytes) |
----------------O-----------
Upto 512KB | 69MBps
1024KB | 125MBps
2048KB | 250MBps
4096KB | 500MBps
8192KB | 1GBps -- What the !! --
Buffer cache does not come into consideration.
Does this mean that the SCSI lower layer (aic79xx) can transfer data
only upto 512 KB?
