Hello Chris,
Is there any way to tell fio to insert a periodically sync... not sync every I/O, but every N I/O's, or maybe on some period?
fsync=int If writing to a file, issue a sync of the dirty data for every number of blocks given. For example, if you give 32 as a parameter, fio will sync the file for every 32 writes issued. If fio is using non-buffered io, we may not sync the file. The exception is the sg io engine, which synchronizes the disk cache anyway. This should help you.
