Or do I have to set it an other option? # fio --rw=write --name=test --size=10M --invalidate=0 test: (g=0): rw=write, bs=4K-4K/4K-4K/4K-4K, ioengine=sync, iodepth=1 fio-2.1.2 Starting 1 process test: Laying out IO file(s) (1 file(s) / 10MB) fio: posix_fallocate fails: Invalid argument fio: pid=0, err=22/file:filesetup.c:412, func=invalidate_cache, error=Invalid argument What did you mean with digging around in /usr/include? I expect you mean to look at posix_fadvise, but what information do you exactly need?
