+Description:
+		Storage devices may report a preferred minimum I/O size,

+		without incurring a read-modify-write penalty.  For disk

+Description:
+		Storage devices may report an optimal I/O size, which is
+		the device's preferred unit of receiving I/O.  This is
+		rarely reported for disk drives.  For RAID devices it is

+Description:	These files exist in every cpu's cache index directories.
