Hi Dong-Jae,
Thanks for being intersted in dm-ioband.

There are some suggestions for you.
1. you have to specify a dm-ioband device at the command line to
control bandwidth.
# tiotest -R -d /dev/mapper/ioband1 -f 300
2. tiotest is not an appropriate tool to see how bandwith is shared
among devices, becasue those three tiotests don't finish at the
same time, a process which issues I/Os to a device with the highest
weight finishes first, so you can't see how bandwidth is shared
from the results of each tiotest.
I use iostat to see the time variation of bandiwdth. The followings
are the outputs of iostat just after starting three tiotests on the
same setting as yours.
# iostat -p dm-0 -p dm-1 -p dm-2 1
Device: tps Blk_read/s Blk_wrtn/s Blk_read Blk_wrtn

Could you give me the O_DIRECT patch?
