Hey Jeremy,
Sorry, I'm at NAB in vegas and a little burned myself.... so we graph
output from /proc/diskstats when we test. If I run a test with 3.0.21c
the wio (field 7) and wblk (field 9) stats both show activity. This does
not happen with 3.0.14a. eg: it appears that there is double the amount
of write traffic.
Does that make any more sense?
Thanks,
Greg

Perhaps another data point that might ring a bell. While using 3.0.21c
and monitoring direct IO vs. buffered IO (on XFS): if you see 40MBs of
direct IO you will see another 40 MBs of buffered IO on 21c that you do
not see on 14a. According to a colleague he saw this at one point in a
previous revision and thought it was a problem of an extraneous sync
somewhere.... This might explain why you don't see this with your ram disk.
Ok, I don't understand this message :-). Can you explain exactly
what you mean with "40 MBs of bufferd IO on 21c that you do not
see on 14a" - how are you measuring this and where do you see it ?
Use small words please, I'm very jet-lagged :-).
Jeremy.
