Hi, Has anyone played with bypassing the buffer cache when writing large dump files? If seems that savefiles.c could be easily mod'ed to replace the fopen with an open and fdopen to be able to set `O_DIRECT'.
We're going to record dumpfiles at Gigabit speeds to a raid front ended with nvram and the files will be ~100GB. We're guessing that this may be a win. Any thoughts?
