when i said "deprecated" i didn't mean "does not exist any more". i
meant "you should start looking for replacements...". i don't know if
'raw' was removed from fedora 11 or not.
regarding iometer - the "stable" version from 2006 seems to support
O_DIRECT when accessing disks (as well as making the buffer's address
properly aligned) - so you should be ok using it. the 2008 rc2 version
doesn't seem to use O_DIRECT - no idea why. you might want to ask this
on the project's mailing list.

Damn, so how do I tell iometer to use direct io device?
Looks like I'm screwd.

Anybody know where is the raw(1) command in fedora11?
I want to do some direct IO tests, and cannot find raw(1).
Maybe I'm missing an rpm, but which? yum fails to locate it.
Ideas?

'raw' is deprecated. applications should open files/block-devices
using O_DIRECT - and they will achieve the same effect (and will
have to use properly sized and aligned I/O buffers).
