Hello Renar,

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried the configuration changes. They however 
do not seem to have any effect - the performance seems identical. I also tried 
all 4 combinations. I checked the documentation on the parameter 
"dioSmallSeqWriteBatching" and it states that small IOs are considered under 
64kb. I've also found a parameter "dioSmallSeqWriteThreshold" but my GPFS 
version (5.1.9.0) claims that it's an unknown attribute.

Hallo Peter,
my to cents to this.
Set the diasbleDIO=yes Parameter to DEFAULT and use the

! dioSmallSeqWriteBatching 1
  disableDIO 0
And give it a try.

Betreff: [gpfsug-discuss] Slow performance on writes when using direct io

Hello,

We encountered a problem with performance of writes on GPFS when the 
application uses direct io access. To simulate the issue it is enough to run 
fio with option direct=1. The performance drop is quite dramatic - 250 MiB/s 
vs. 2955 MiB/s. We've tried to instruct GPFS to ignore direct IO by using 
"disableDIO=yes". The directive didn't have any effect. Is there any 
possibility how to achieve that GPFS would ignore direct IO requests and use 
caching for everything?
