95 | Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com> | ||
96 | Description: | ||
97 | This is the smallest unit the storage device can write | ||
98 | without resorting to read-modify-write operation. It is | ||
99 | usually the same as the logical block size but may be | ||
100 | bigger. One example is SATA drives with 4KB sectors | ||
101 | that expose a 512-byte logical block size to the | ||
102 | operating system. | ||

105 | Date: April 2009 | ||
106 | Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com> | ||
107 | Description: | ||
108 | Storage devices may report a preferred minimum I/O size, | ||
109 | which is the smallest request the device can perform | ||
110 | without incurring a read-modify-write penalty. For disk | ||
111 | drives this is often the physical block size. For RAID | ||
112 | arrays it is often the stripe chunk size. | ||

117 | Description: | ||
118 | Storage devices may report an optimal I/O size, which is | ||
119 | the device's preferred unit of receiving I/O. This is | ||
120 | rarely reported for disk drives. For RAID devices it is | ||
121 | usually the stripe width or the internal block size. | ||
