I found this to be a good read, but I wish the author discussed the pros/cons of bypassing the file system and using a block device with direct I/O. I've found that with Optane drives the performance is high enough that the extra load from the file system (in terms of CPU) is significant. If the author was using a file system (which I assume is the case) which was it?
