test cas with sysbench randwr cas

[bugme1024]

Question

why there is some io to hdd device? It is caused by fsync?

reproduce step:

0. mkfs.exte /dev/cas1-1
1. mount /dev/cas1-1 /data
2. execute in /data: sysbench --test=fileio --threads=16 --file-block-size=16k --file-total-size=100G --file-test-mode=seqrd --report-interval=1 prepare 3.execute in /data: sysbench --test=fileio --num-threads=16 --file-block-size=16k --file-total-size=100G --file-test-mode=rndwr --report-interval=1 --file-extra-flags=direct --time=60 run

Motivation

i want to improve performance with fsync call.
