I now noticed that if I keep running fio-2.1-8-gb2c77 I am getting too consistent results (please see below ) but with the sky-high value for aggrb read. If I run the 2.0.1.3 version (over the existsing files created by fio-2.1-8-gb2c77) the value reported is 'normal' and after that I can run fio-2.1-8-gb2c77 and it too reports normal values !!! so to be clear, I have now ran in this sequence output-fio-2.1-8-gb2c77-clocksource-run01.txt //new files, read aggrb skyhigh 563220KB/s output-fio-2.1-8-gb2c77-clocksource-run02.txt //existing files, read aggrb skyhigh 510402KB/s output-fio-2.1-8-gb2c77-clocksource-run03.txt //existing files, read aggrb skyhigh 550064KB/s output-fio-2.0.1.3-clocksource.txt //existing files, read aggrb normal 197KB/s output-fio-2.1-8-gb2c77-clocksource-run04.txt //existing files, read aggrb normal-ish 147KB/s // but the values is much lower than 2.0.1.3 //too hard for me to know which one to trust !
