There are two advantages: * Direct I/O allows to avoid the write-back cache, so it reduces affects to other processes in the system. * Async I/O allows to handle a few commands concurrently. DIO + AIO shows a better perfomance for random write operations: Mode: O_DSYNC Async: 1 $ ./fio --bs=4K --direct=1 --rw=randwrite --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=64 --name=/dev/sda --runtime=20 --numjobs=2 WRITE: bw=45.9MiB/s (48.1MB/s), 21.9MiB/s-23.0MiB/s (22.0MB/s-25.2MB/s), io=919MiB (963MB), run=20002-20020msec Mode: O_DSYNC Async: 0 $ ./fio --bs=4K --direct=1 --rw=randwrite --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=64 --name=/dev/sdb --runtime=20 --numjobs=2 WRITE: bw=1607KiB/s (1645kB/s), 802KiB/s-805KiB/s (821kB/s-824kB/s), io=31.8MiB (33.4MB), run=20280-20295msec Known issue: DIF (PI) emulation doesn't work when a target uses async I/O, because DIF metadata is saved in a separate file, and it is another non-trivial task how to synchronize writing in two files, so that a following read operation always returns a consisten metadata for a specified block.
