Hello SuSE folkz,
Does somebody know if Linux kernel allows to perform non-buffered I/O on raw
disk partitions?
In documentation on InnoDB tables it said:
By using a raw disk you can on some Unixes perform unbuffered I/O.
I assume that it should improve DB performance.
Thank you in advance for any thoughts or sources of information.
