I haven't tried them myself, but perhaps the write_iolog and read_iolog options would work for you in this case? write_iolog=str Write the issued I/O patterns to the specified file. Specify a separate file for each job, otherwise the iologs will be interspersed and the file may be corrupt. read_iolog=str Replay the I/O patterns contained in the specified file generated by write_iolog, or may be a blktrace binary file.
