Hi, I wanted to use the "offset increment option" and "numjobs" so that i can split the work load between ten jobs and reduce the run time. But what i am seeing is that the offset counter is not getting reset when the first job in the jobfile is completed.(is it that the offset is global for the job file and not for the Jobs inside the jobfile?) So my read starts from the last offset set by the writes. here is my job file, [global] bs=64k direct=1 numjobs=10 size=1m group_reporting [write-phase] offset_increment=1m filename=/dev/sdb rw=write write_iolog=verfywrite2 [read-phase] stonewall offset_increment=1m filename=/dev/sdb rw=read write_iolog=verfyread2 I tried using the offset=0 option in the read phase job but now every time the read happens from zeroth offsite. Now the offset increment option is not getting honored. [write-phase] offset_increment=1m filename=/dev/sdb rw=write write_iolog=verfywrite2 [read-phase] stonewall offset=0 offset_increment=1m filename=/dev/sdb rw=read write_iolog=verfyread2 I tried the same case with verify option. the behavior is same. Is there any way that i can reset the offset counters once the job is completed? thanks, -- 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
