[Libtorrent-devel] Representative "record size" for rtorrent I/O

[spiro at fea.st]

Hi,

I am benchmarking my HDD array for rtorrent using iozone.

What is the representative "record size" for rtorrent access to the
disk?

I remember reading on the list before that "Each request is a given
16-KByte piece of a random chunk." (J. Drexler)

Does that mean that, regardless of torrent chunk size, rtorrent is doing
random 16-KB i/o requests (read/write) most of the time?

If this is correct, then I believe record size of 16-KB (-r16k) in
iozone
would best represent rtorrent i/o requests.  Am I correct?

TIA,
