how to specify a device for db bench

[Alexandriavq Johnsxw]

hi i'm trying to use db bench with my own ssd that is created by linux kernel.

for example, i created a 100GB block device with:

modprobe null_blk  gb=100

then i created a file system for it:

mkfs -t ext3 /dev/nullb0     

then how could i specify it to db_bench ?

thanks !

RocksDB does not support raw block device. You need to mount the file system`, and specify the target database directory via db_bench -db=<path/to/your/ext3/subdir/as/db>​
