摘要：In recent years, Linux block device layer has evolved into an efficient design and implementation. However, the improvements like request queues, IO schedulers, mapped device framew ork, etc have made it suff iciently complicated to understand and model this layer. A clear understanding of block device layer becomes critical for developing scalable and high performing applications on top of it. This complexity urged us to develop an integrated tool ¨C Icra. Icra is a self - contained tool which is dev eloped by inte grating Linux tools such as fio , blktrace, btt and blkparse. We would also attempt to come up with general guidelines for choosing block device configuration for a particular IO load and pattern
