I do not see a problem with your mods to enable fileop for Linux-arm, as these mods have been returned to the Iozone folks, and they have been accepted for inclusion in the next release :-) Thank you for your contribution, Don Capps ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marcin Juszkiewicz" To: "Don Capps" ; "William D.
