Hello,
I am trying to divide a 4TB hard disk into 128 equal parts. Therefore I divide the disk size (in Bytes) with 128 - this is my increment size. Then I start several fio job rounds with the offset increasing every round by the increment. Unfortunately I get an error for the first offset not equal to 0.
I suppose this is an issue with the offsets not being correctly aligned.
Here is my call to fio:
$ sudo /usr/local/bin/fio --rw=randrw --name=wd --offset=31256148672 --direct=1 --bs=64k --filename=/dev/sdi --rwmixread=100 --numjobs=1 --ioengine=libaio --runtime=60 --iodepth=16 --size=31256148672 --group_reporting --debug=all
Here is the error message and the debug output:

I am happy with any suggestions =)
