I searched the web for it, but all I found was some references to Zend. Additionally, I grepped through source only to realize that "direction" is used a lot. So I used the following find :
[goro:~/postgresql-7.3.1] alex% find . -type f -exec egrep -il 'directio[^Nn]' {} \;
And also didn't find anything. The manpage for directio (Solaris 9) is here:
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-0213/6m6ne37so?a=view
I haven't gotten my ultrasparc database server up yet, so I can't run any benchmarks against this. Is it possible somebody with some spare time could mount a filesystem with directio forced (forcedirectio) and run some benchmarks on a Solaris/UFS database?
Thanks alex
