Hello, Dan:
I've known your md(raid456) patch just before v2.6.26,
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=8b3e6cdc53b7f29f7026955d6cb6902a49322a15
your md patch referred to tiobench, which is the multi-thread
benchmark tool, I'm interested on this tool and I found I ran it
differently with your results, so I want to know more about it,
from its home page, it only released v0.3.3 on Mar 2002,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tiobench/
but from its cvs repository, it has released v0.4.1,
http://tiobench.cvs.sourceforge.net/tiobench/tiobench/
Could you tell me what version of tiobench did you use? I want to see
if that's my configuration fault or I have used wrong program version.
And when using v0.4.1 of tiobench from its cvs repository, I found its
multiple threads random IO statistics code reported wrong results, and
have resolved it by this patch,
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2047536&group_id=3857&atid=303857
But its upstream seems have not noticed it yet, so I want to if
someone on this mailling-list know tiobench upstream and be able to
take this message?
Thanks.

Hope someone can wake up the tiobench developer?

Regretfully, the tiotest v0.4.1 still have bugs that I haven't
resolved, even applied my previous patch,
such as this reported on a single SATA disk, simple dd benchmark
report its bandwidth is 70MB/s, do you believe it has 1489.8 MB/s
random read performance?
But it's weird when I'm using systemtap on it,
# stap -ve 'probe kernel.function("vfs_read@fs/read_write.c") { ... }'
it reports all pread successfully return fast,
# ./tiotest -R -d /dev/sdb5 -f 1 -r 1024000 -t 1
