Found some hints how to help the kernel manage its buffers and page cache efficiently when writing http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1005.2/01845.html http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1005.2/01953.html Also additional fadvise might be worse testing. (void)posix_fadvise(fd, 0, 0, POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED); (void)posix_fadvise(fd, 0, 0, POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL); (void)posix_fadvise(fd, 0, 0, POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE); In any case, I desperately need a benchmark tool as kioclient can't really play that role. Something that would link directly with file IOSLAVE.
