Writing n no. of bytes to disks.

NTDEV
1

Hi all,

I am developing a application to stress the buses and devices in the
machine.
For that i want to write to the disks n no. of bytes where n may vary from 1
to any possible max no, without the cache manager
of windows filtering my write/read requests.

First thing i want to know is

  1. Is it possible at all from application, (which i think is not, but in
    case if somebody might know).

  2. Is it possible by writing any filter driver or something of that kind.

  3. If answer to any of the above is yes, could u please give me some clues,
    or where can i get more information regarding this issue.

thanx and regards,
Manish

    If you need any additional info, try writing to the iometer email address on
    that page. I don’t work on Iometer, I don’t even know who does anymore, but
    it does what you are asking for.
