Then I am completely clueless now. Better consult with qemu-devel mailing list. PS: just crossed my mind, maybe ftrace that uses blktrace is actually tracing the qemu's virtio. Whereas blktrace is tracing the physical block access. This is just speculation, after re-reading that you use virtio and disable write caching. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
