The function static void get_file_system_type(struct fio_file *f) (in file filesetup.c) has a call to lstat(..) which if given a symbolic link will give information about the link instead of information about the target of the link. In Solaris it is very common that the disk device nodes in /dev/dsk/ are symbolic links to files in /devices/... and so the call to lstat(..) will not properly identify a file as a block device instead of a normal file. A call to stat(..) on a filename that represents a block device will not return the proper size on Solaris. Combined with the above-mentioned mis-identification of a link to a block device as a normal file, the function file_size(..) is invoked rather than a call to bdev_size(..) and fio will not run properly. Fix: Can the call to lstat(..) in get_file_system_type(..) be replaced by a call to stat(..)? This happens on Open Solaris v10 x86_64.
