Hi, As you may have noticed in the automated daily commit mailing, version 2.0.15 of fio was tagged yesterday. In no particular order, the changes and new features are: - Various fixes to Android, both on the build front (better integration and cross-build support) and adding IO priority support as well. This from Aaron Carroll. - The newly introduced LFSR support was overhauled, switching to a galois based one which is more suitable. From Alex Pyrgiotis. - A new --eta-newline command line parameter was added. This is mostly useful for long running jobs, where you want a new line in there every x amount of time. Gives you a visual clue on how the job rates change over time, for the cases where you don't really want or need full logging. - Addition of a --parse-only command line option. Checks the validity of a job, without actually running it. - A few fixes for Solaris/SunOS, fixing the net engine nodelay pickup and man page installation. - A fix for a bug where fio would re-run a job section. - Rework of the shared file locking, should work better now. - A bug in the random map where the minimum and maximum block sizes differed by more than a factor 64. - Fix for a bug that could cause skewed latencies if rate_iops= was used. From SEOKYOUNG KO. - Fix bandwidth output being all zeroes with the json output format selected. - CPU clock fixes, notably for powerpc. All users of 2.x should upgrade. -- Jens Axboe -- 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
