hi bent,
when mounting a dev u can pass a few parameters , one of them is -o
async or -o sync which tells whether the kernel will i/o to the device
straight ahead or buffer in memory first (speed varies dramatically).
not sure what's linux kernel default, i guess async? nor how the
hdparm test neither!
my 0.1p
