Hi everybody,
I'am using fio in a vmware virtualized environment. I have got a guest
virtual machine based on centos5.2 on which I run fio in order to
measure the virtual disks IO performances.
I use the "write_bw_log" parameter in order to build graphs for the
experiments but the problem is that the file generated by fio for each
job is empty (size = 0).
However, i also use "write_clat_log" parameter and the 'clat.log' and
'slat.log' files are not empty. The mean bandwidth in the fio output
summary seams to be good.
I wonder how long that bug has been there... It's due to a botched
memcpy in the fio core. There are two stat sample times, yet it
overwrites only the first one (being 0, or DDIR_READ, which explains why
the read one works).
Try the below patch, it's also committed now.

Well, this patch works very well, the bw log file is filled again.
Thank you for your quick answer.
FIO rocks !!
Best regards,
