bigger than the logical block size (for instance a drive

Description:
|
|
This is the smallest unit a physical storage device can
|
|
write atomically. It is usually the same as the logical
|
|
block size but may be bigger. One example is SATA
|
|
drives with 4KB sectors that expose a 512-byte logical
|
|
block size to the operating system. For stacked block

devices the physical_block_size variable contains the

maximum physical_block_size of the component devices.

Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
|
|
Description:
|
|
Storage devices may report a granularity or preferred
|
|
minimum I/O size which is the smallest request the
|
|
device can perform without incurring a performance
|
|
penalty. For disk drives this is often the physical
|
|
block size. For RAID arrays it is often the stripe
|
|
chunk size. A properly aligned multiple of
|
|
minimum_io_size is the preferred request size for
|
|
workloads where a high number of I/O operations is
|
|
desired.

What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/optimal_io_size

|
Date: April 2009

Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
|
|
Description:
|
|
Storage devices may report an optimal I/O size, which is
|
|
the device's preferred unit for sustained I/O. This is
|
|
rarely reported for disk drives. For RAID arrays it is
|
|
usually the stripe width or the internal track size. A
|
|
properly aligned multiple of optimal_io_size is the
|
|
preferred request size for workloads where sustained
|
|
throughput is desired. If no optimal I/O size is
|
|
reported this file contains 0.

|
Date: January 2010

Contact:
|
|
Description:
|
|
Standard I/O elevator operations include attempts to
|
|
merge contiguous I/Os. For known random I/O loads these
|
|
attempts will always fail and result in extra cycles
|
|
being spent in the kernel. This allows one to turn off
|
|
this behavior on one of two ways: When set to 1, complex
|
|
merge checks are disabled, but the simple one-shot merges
|
|
with the previous I/O request are enabled. When set to 2,
|
|
all merge tries are disabled. The default value is 0 -
|
|
which enables all types of merge tries.

Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
|
|
Description:
|
|
Devices that support discard functionality may
|
|
internally allocate space in units that are bigger than
|
|
the exported logical block size. The discard_alignment
|
|
parameter indicates how many bytes the beginning of the

device is offset from the internal allocation unit's

|
natural alignment.

|
|
Date: May 2011
|
|
Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
|
|
Description:
|
|
Devices that support discard functionality may
|
|
internally allocate space using units that are bigger
|
|
than the logical block size. The discard_granularity
|
|
parameter indicates the size of the internal allocation
|
|
unit in bytes if reported by the device. Otherwise the
|
|
discard_granularity will be set to match the device's
|
|
physical block size. A discard_granularity of 0 means
|
|
that the device does not support discard functionality.

|
|
What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/discard_max_bytes
|
|
Date: May 2011
|
|
Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
|
|
Description:
|
|
Devices that support discard functionality may have
|
|
internal limits on the number of bytes that can be
|
|
trimmed or unmapped in a single operation. Some storage
|
|
protocols also have inherent limits on the number of
|
|
blocks that can be described in a single command. The
|
|
discard_max_bytes parameter is set by the device driver
|
|
to the maximum number of bytes that can be discarded in
|
|
a single operation. Discard requests issued to the
|
|
device must not exceed this limit. A discard_max_bytes
|
|
value of 0 means that the device does not support
|
|
discard functionality.

What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/discard_zeroes_data
|
|
Date: May 2011
|
|
Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
|
|
Description:
|
|
Devices that support discard functionality may return
|
|
stale or random data when a previously discarded block
|
|
is read back. This can cause problems if the filesystem
|
|
expects discarded blocks to be explicitly cleared. If a
|
|
device reports that it deterministically returns zeroes
|
|
when a discarded area is read the discard_zeroes_data
|
|
parameter will be set to one. Otherwise it will be 0 and
|
|
the result of reading a discarded area is undefined.

What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/write_same_max_bytes
|
|
Date: January 2012
|
|
Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
|
|
Description:
|
|
Some devices support a write same operation in which a
|
|
single data block can be written to a range of several
|
|
contiguous blocks on storage. This can be used to wipe
|
|
areas on disk or to initialize drives in a RAID
|
|
configuration. write_same_max_bytes indicates how many
|
|
bytes can be written in a single write same command. If
|
|
write_same_max_bytes is 0, write same is not supported
|
|
by the device.

What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/zoned
|
|
Date: September 2016
|
|
Contact: Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@hgst.com>
|
|
Description:
|
|
zoned indicates if the device is a zoned block device
|
|
and the zone model of the device if it is indeed zoned.
|
|
The possible values indicated by zoned are "none" for
|
|
regular block devices and "host-aware" or "host-managed"
|
|
for zoned block devices. The characteristics of
|
|
host-aware and host-managed zoned block devices are
|
|
described in the ZBC (Zoned Block Commands) and ZAC
|
|
(Zoned Device ATA Command Set) standards. These standards
|
|
also define the "drive-managed" zone model. However,
|
|
since drive-managed zoned block devices do not support
|
|
zone commands, they will be treated as regular block
|
|
devices and zoned will report "none".

What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/chunk_sectors
|
|
Date: September 2016
|
|
Contact: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.com>
|
|
Description:
|
|
chunk_sectors has different meaning depending on the type
|
|
of the disk. For a RAID device (dm-raid), chunk_sectors
|
|
indicates the size in 512B sectors of the RAID volume
|
|
stripe segment. For a zoned block device, either
|
|
host-aware or host-managed, chunk_sectors indicates the
|
|
size of 512B sectors of the zones of the device, with
|
|
the eventual exception of the last zone of the device
|
|
which may be smaller.
