     - Supported for both upload (send_filepath) and download (recv_filepath).
-    - For upload, part_size MUST be page-aligned when direct_io is enabled (hard fail otherwise).
-      The client controls part_size and is responsible for ensuring alignment.

-      buffered I/O (logging a warning) if any of the following preconditions are not met:
-      part_size is not page-aligned, recv_file_position is not page-aligned (WRITE_TO_POSITION),
-      existing file size is not page-aligned (CREATE_OR_APPEND), or the last part has an

     In summary, O_DIRECT is a potentially powerful tool that should be used with caution.
