Hello Everyone, is it possible to tell fio to only lay out the data files and not carry out any tests? The thing is that I need to sync my Flashcache device after laying out the files and before starting the read tests. Therefore it would be helpful if I could do the following: -Start fio and tell him to only lay out data files -Sync my cache -Start fio again with the previous layed out files and do the tests Another option would be the parameter "filename", which tells fio to use that file. But what if I am using multiple processes, can I specify a file on command line for each process? Thanks, Georg -- 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
