All,
I have just recently obtained, successfully built, and am experimenting with
the kaio patches (1.3 for 2.4.0-test10). My questions are related to the
use of raw devices with kaio, and specifically, to the comment on the KAIO
homepage which says:
"KAIO is also integrated to work well with Raw I/O, another
feature availabe with SGI Linux Environment 1.1 or as a patch
from this web site."
I could only find the Raw I/O (SCSI SGI patches) for 2.2.13, and 2.4.0+ has
the Tweedie char/raw.c raw devices by default. So, are the SGI patches
integrated in another set of patches? Is the native stuff as good now, and
the patches are no longer being maintained? If not, can they be made
available so they are suitable for the same kernel version as kaio?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
