Yes, but I refuse to ever publish or explain the benefit and power of the tools until I can get this code accepted. It is a real bitch to write, because they are codependented on the kernel reacting correctly.
At this point I have no interest in publishing a finished patch to TASK and allow people to have fuller and more robust control over the kernel.
Basically screw the project!
But would you like to know the predictive write caching of a given drive to optimize things like the BLOCK_ELEVATOR, basically make it intellegent. You know I can do this for SCSI but screw that project too!
