In the file disksim_ioqueue.c, the queue structure is not that understandable. For example, the iob structure pointed by queue->list is not the head of the queue but queue->list->next. Also, sometimes, but not always, the next pointers of some iob structures on a queue is actually pointing back to itself. Can anyone explain the queue structure used in Disksim, especially in the file disksim_ioqueue.c? Or, even better, is there any developer's manual for disksim? Thank you very much!

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <20070228082428.51782.qmail@web34013.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Disksim developers, I would like to encourage you to publish a new version of the program. disksim is unique and supports the research community in the filed of storage. I think a new version should include more updated storage devices then offered in version 3.0. perhaps a new version will solve portability and compatibility issues (such as the need for gcc 2.95, and old flex(?) ) and therefore enable more developers and researchers who are less proficient to use this valuable tool. many thanks and much appreciation, Shay Raz Greg Ganger wrote: Not sure.
