[dm-devel] [PATCH 0/2] dm-ioband: I/O bandwidth controller v1.8.0: Introduction

[Ryo Tsuruta <ryov valinux co jp>]

Hi Alasdair and all,

This is the dm-ioband version 1.8.0 release.

Dm-ioband is an I/O bandwidth controller implemented as a device-mapper
driver, which gives specified bandwidth to each job running on the same
physical device.

This release is a minor bug fix and confirmed running on the latest
stable kernel 2.6.27.1.

- Can be applied to the kernel 2.6.27.1 and 2.6.27-rc5-mm1.
- Changes from 1.7.0 (posted on Oct 3, 2008):
  - Fix a minor bug in io_limit setting that causes dm-ioband to stop
    issuing I/O requests when a large value is set to io_limit.

Alasdair, could you please review this patch and give me any comments?

Thanks,
Ryo Tsuruta
