The disk buffer is physically distinct from and is used differently from the page cache typically kept by the operating system in the computer's main memory.
While data in the page cache is reused multiple times, the data in the disk buffer is rarely reused
其實應該這樣講
the data in the disk buffer is rarely reused的原因就是因為電腦不是只讀取同一段data block
而大部份的cache/buffer的演算法都會有cache/buffer hit的處理,當你一直讀取同一段data block,理論上cache/buffer會一直hit,從而減少IO的操作.
