Hello, I'm looking for a FS in Linux that supports concurrent direct IO write. ext4 supports concurrent direct IO read if we mount it with dioread_nolock, but doesn't support concurrent writes. XFS doesn't support concurrent direct IO at all. It locks the inode exclusive if it's direct IO. I tried btrfs, and it seems it doesn't support concurrent direct IO either though I haven't looked into its code. Is there a local FS that support concurrent direct IO write? It seems NFS supports it ( http://kevinclosson.wordpress.com/2011/08/12/file-systems-for-a-database-cho...), but I'm looking for local FS. Thanks, Da
