The fact that the option offset is multiplied by the job number makes sense for ease of handling job files (since you can just do numjobs=X and be done with it), but logically it's odd since you have to know that they are numbered sequentially and do the math to see where it ends up on the disk. What is the intended use case for this? I'd much rather see the offset be absolute, at the cost of a bit more complex job file. -- 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
