Grab NWFS at vger.timpanogas.org. It has a really good ASYNCH I/O abstraction in kernel that is pluggable and will allow very agressive testing of the elevator code in 2.4.0. Check the file BLOCK.C for the 2.4 support and ASYNC.C. Theres a nice way to pump ons of AIO requests into Linux with

Greetings, Robert. Looking over your test program, I don't think you are actually testing the elevator algorithm at all. There are a couple of key flaws: * The reads and writes are synchronous, so the elevator algorithm at _most_ gets to effect the blocks within a single read or
