This is NOT a request for help, but just an informational post (feel
free to move). While I didn’t use openSUSE (I used SLES 11) in my
tests, I though you might want to see some comparative disk benchmarks.

Beware, fusion-io uses a PROPRIETARY closed source driver and will NOT
work with newer version of openSUSE (new meaning anything newer than
openSUSE 11.1).
Fusion-IO provides the driver source to customers so they can compile the drivers for their specific builds and or kernels. The next major version of drivers will be released soon which includes improvements and features. Since you did your testing with the HP cards, you might want to check out Fusion-io :: HP + WOZ for additional information.

Fusion-io will only provide limited support for direct io-drive owners
and NOT people who own the HP IO Accelerator. Regardless the latest
drivers doesn’t work on the newer kernels (e.g. 2.6.32+). As the
fusion-io community forum users suggest, open sourcing the driver so
that it can be included as part of the kernel might help.
Fusion-io can certainly attempt to be the Nvidia of high IOPS storage…
but you have to keep up… and keeping up doesn’t mean providing a
working driver months after a new kernel change…
Might be easier to get some help from the Linux community…
