That's right, O_DIRECT. I actuallu wouldn't mind experimenting with
this - for my own edification. Especially since they say that "raw
device access is now deprecated" in favor of this O_DIRECT thing. But
I couldn't find any references on how to use it, for example, how to
set up devices for a database, like Oracle, Sybase, etc. using this
O_DIRECT thingy. Any ideas?
