Hello, I think I've run across a case where, during a time-limited test, a soft error occurred on the device and fio continued to run -way- past (overnight) the time limit. The rough scenario is: fio test - ok fio test - ok fio test - starts soft error fio never ends (and is still pushing traffic as reported by the disk system) I haven't had a chance to dive into the code yet (fio 2.0.14, linux 2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.x86_64), but can anyone think of a reason why this would happen? The command line looks like: fio --name='raid0;16;randread;8;16' --rw=randread --filename=/dev/ethdrv/e107.1 --iodepth=16 --bs=8k --rwmixread=70 --norandommap --group_reporting --time_based --minimal --direct=1 --fill_device=1 --ioengine=libaio --ramp_time=5 --runtime=35 --randrepeat=0 Hopefully, I'll get the clue to inject an error into the disk system and run this down, but that'll take time I don't really have.
