Your test job(s) seem pretty massive, you don't happen to have a cut down version that exhibits the problem? There also seems to be parts of the error missing from io_u_log_error(), like the file associated with the error and the io_u details (offset= and buflen=, for instance). What version of fio are you using? -- Jens Axboe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe fio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
