Here come a typical output I have using fio. I added some line numbers
as an helper.
01: /dev/mydisk: (groupid=1, jobs=1): err= 0: pid=7433
02: write: io=79,112MiB, bw=72,774KiB/s, iops=740, runt=1139888msec
03: slat (usec): min=9, max=572, avg=21.22, stdev= 7.03

05: bw (KiB/s) : min= 0, max=80749, per=100.06%, avg=72815.92,

09: complete : 0=0.0%, 4=100.0%, 8=0.0%, 16=0.0%, 32=0.0%, 64=0.1%,

10: issued r/w: total=0/843855, short=0/0
11:
12: lat (msec): 4=0.01%, 10=0.03%, 20=0.38%, 50=6.53%, 100=64.24%
13: lat (msec): 250=28.79%, 500=0.01%, 750=0.01%
I have some questions about the output.
About Latencies:
Line 4, clat is reported to be at 86ms as average but line 12 is is
written that 100=64 250=29
What's the meaning of "100=" ? Does it means "there were 64% of IOs
completed between 100 & 249 ms ?"
If yes, that's pretty surprising that while having 95% of my IOs that
are completed in more than 100ms, the average is reported as 86.
If "100=" means "IO between 50 and 99ms", thus output become pretty
confusing.
About IO depths:
In my config file I had set a depth to 64. Line 07 reports that 100% of
my IOs where >=64... cool but is it also said that 0.6% were spent on <=64K
Sounds to be a rounding effect but does this really means that some IOs
where sent with a short depth ?
And then, how should I understan lines 8 & 9 that reports that 100% of
IOs were completed with a depth=4... What happened ?
Hope this questions aren't too stupid ;o)
Thanks,
