Re: [Nbd] NBD Super Size io operations
I've applied the patch but I don't think I see any gain?
now (= with that patch) with block size 1024KB:
random random bkwd record stride
KB reclen write rewrite read reread read write read rewrite read fwrite frewrite fread freread

now (= with that patch) with block size 128KB:
random random bkwd record stride
KB reclen write rewrite read reread read write read rewrite read fwrite frewrite fread freread
2097152 128 36651 35484 112819 113962 114233 34810 113014 35782 119221 55876 54225 115214 117897
previously version (stock 3.8 with signal patch):
random random bkwd record stride

Tested using nbd-server on ramdisk, client in a vm (kernel 3.8, see above), tested with iozone3 from debian testing:
iozone -j 1024 -s 2g -r 128k -I -f test -+w 7
Test system is a Linux system with kernel 2.6.38 and vmware workstation 9.
It has a Q9450 running at 2.1GHz and 8GB of ram with 512MB of ram for the vm.
