Hi,

Since O_DIRECT is not specified in open() [1], it reads the buffer cache and
may result in a false negative. I fear that this possibility increases
in environments with large buffer cache and running disk-reading applications
such as database.

So, I think it's better to specify O_RDONLY|O_DIRECT, but what about it?
(in this case, lseek() processing is unnecessary.)

I will have to defer to Christine (in CC) to this email on why we didn´t use O_DIRECT.

I have a vague recollection that some storage devices didn´t like the O_DIRECT option causing other issues later, but it´s been a while since I touched the code.


# I am ready to create a patch that works with O_DIRECT. Also, I wouldn't mind
# a "change to add a new mode of inspection with O_DIRECT
# (add a option to storage_mon) while keeping the current inspection process".

It might be a very reasonable solution, tho let´s wait for an answer from Chrissie.

Cheers
Fabio
