Thanks for your great job.

I would like to know the throughput without dm-ioband in your
environment. Because the total throughput of range-bw policy is
8000KB/s, which means the device has a capability to perform over
8000KB/s, but the total throughput of weight policy is lower than
the range-bw policy. In my environment, there is no significant
difference in average throughput between with and without dm-ioband.
I ran fio in the way described in your result file. Here are the
results of my environment. The throughputs were calculated from
"iostat -k 1" outputs.

            buffered write test
           Avg. throughput [KB/s]
        w/o ioband     w/ioband
sdb2         14485         5788
sdb3         12494        22295
total        26979        28030

Thanks,
