[Coreutils-users] O_DIRECT enabled utilities on SUSE

[henrik nielsen]

Thanks for the quick reply.

Is 131072 the block size to use and do we guarantee that restore will work ?

regards,
Henrik

Hurm theres a minor problem that I'm looking at today
replace

cp --o_direct /dbf/cluster/quorum.dbf /tmp

with

cp --o_direct=131072,0 /dbf/cluster/quorum.dbf /tmp

NOTE: ext3 on SL8 didn't support O_DIRECT (least not on the machine I tried earlier)
