Hi Juan,
Could you provide the fio version you are using (fio -v)? I'm currently
using the latest version from git and I don't see these results.
Specifically, what I'm getting is:
-------------------------------
test_job: (g=0): rw=randwrite, bs=8K-8K/8K-8K/8K-8K, ioengine=sync,
iodepth=1
fio-2.1.2-13-g3e10

Disk stats (read/write):
sda: ios=0/0, merge=0/0, ticks=0/0, in_queue=0, util=0.00%
-------------------------------
The output has been cut in some parts for readability reasons. Also, the
"Value is..." lines have been added to show which blocks fio is hitting.

Alex
