at a time during a write batch. It is this characteristic that can make
the anticipatory scheduler perform anomalously with controllers supporting
TCQ, or with hardware striped RAID devices. Setting the antic_expire

When read anticipation is enabled (antic_expire is not zero), reads
are dispatched to the disk controller one at a time.

it sounds even more appealing now!), the reason you use I/O barriers
