Though one should note that there might be and are platform-specific 
limitations on O_DIRECT usage, for example specific user-land buffer 
alignment on Linux. Then O_DIRECT for write (e.g. when generating image) 
should be used with caution even for other reasons (i.e. in addition to 
low memory condition). Either way [as already mentioned] I reckon 
O_DIRECT makes a lot of sense for serialized image burnings, which is 
also considered most common scenario for image burns. A.
