Hullo Jens, I have enjoyed using fio, I find it to be easy to set up and run. I have a question about the direction of client/server, which revolves around a situation I would like to benchmark. I deal with a couple of clustered filesystems and would like to get aggregate performance values based on I/O from multiple filesystem clients. To that end I would like to drive a test from a single "location" to multiple filesystem clients. My understanding (?) of fio client/server semantics is that one client drives no more than one server. With this understanding I would set up a fio server on each filesystem client that I want to test and then run fio clients from my test location in parallel to each fio server/filesystem client. I would then aggregate the statistics by hand. This is certainly a huge step up from scripting something myself by hand. It would be convenient if I could have one client/set of clients work together to drive the fio servers and aggregate the statistics for me. Is this where fio is going?
