Not sure what you as asking here. size= will generally specify the region that fio will operate on. If you want to touch it multiple times, you could do time_based and/or loops. The region will still be governed by size= (or default to the existing total size of the file/device, if not given). -- 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
