Hi there, has anyone successfully used the O_DIRECT option for file writing (on MPC8xx IDE)?
I pulled the latest linux version from bitkeeper. When I start the file benchmark "bonnie" (http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/bonnie/) using the -o_direct option, I'll get: root at idif1:~# bonnie -d /mnt -s 20 -o_direct Bonnie 1.3: File '/mnt/Bonnie.95', size: 20971520, volumes: 1 Using O_DIRECT for block based I/O Writing intelligently... done: 4127 kB/s 73.8 %CPU Bonnie: drastic I/O error (/mnt/Bonnie.95.0): Not a directory During the "Writing intelligently" I can see this file!? So, is -O_DIRECT actually working on MPC8xx? Thanks a million, Steven ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
