Abstract
A mechanism is provided to optimize performance of a storage system. A plurality of I/O requests is received. A subset of the plurality of I/O requests is selected. The size of each I/O request of the subset of the plurality of I/O requests is less than a predetermined size, but the combined size of the subset of the plurality of I/O requests is greater than the predetermined size. Furthermore, the subset of the plurality of I/O requests is associated with a single logical unit number. A data transfer command which includes the subset of the plurality of I/O requests is generated. The data transfer command is transmitted.
