 Description   

I tested the performance with obdfilter-survey, the max performance is 732MB/s;

Result as follow:
[root@50:B3:42:00:00:F4 node]# nobjhi=1 thrhi=2 size=40960 case=disk sh obdfilter-survey

I tested the performance with dd (oflag=direct) on the same devices, the max performance is 1038MB/s;

So I want to know if Lustrefs support direct mode?

My point is if the OST support direct I/O? if not, Could OST support direct I/O?
