I'm puzzled. Did a full test here now, with the patch. Simple job: [global] ioengine=null bs=1k size=10m offset_increment=1m numjobs=2 write_iolog=log [job1] rw=read [job2] stonewall rw=read using both the write_iolog and --debug=io, I verified that job1 has two files, one starts at 0M the next at 1M. job2 has two files, one starts at 0M the next at 1M. If I remove the stonewall, job1 has 0M/1M and job has 2M/3M. That certainly looks like it's working to me. I think you need to check and double check that you are indeed using a patched version. And note that write_iolog will _append_ to an existing log file.
