Hi All, This is neto from Brazil How are you? I want to simulate some Oracle workload pattern using fio. I would like to do the following: Archive LOGS: I would like to create x number of different file sizes. I have tried the following, but I am not sure if this is right about filesize option. directory=/archive size=10g ioengine=libaio nrfiles=5 iodepth=4 rw=write filesize=500m direct=1 threads=4 numjobs=1 Redo LOGS: I have tried the following: sync I/O and block split (to simulate partial writes) - 60% 512 bytes and 40% 4096. directory=/redo size=1g ioengine=libaio nrfiles=5 iodepth=4 sync=1 rw=write filesize=500m bssplit=512/60:4k/40 direct=1 numjobs=1 FULL Table Scan: I have tried creating 3 files and read from them (randomly). I used ba=4096 to have block aligned and 1MB of block size (to simulate db_scattered_read). [tablescan] directory=/u109/oradata/fio nrfiles=3 openfiles=3 file_service_type=roundrobin size=1g iodepth=32 ba=4k bs=1M rw=randread numjobs=2 Could you please help to check if the above files are correct? If they are, how can I double check if everything is working as expected (on fio output)?
