I ran fio in gdb and got the crash. The stack trace is below. Not sure if this is a bug in libwinpthread-1.dll or in the way fio is calling it.

If I give it fewer files in the job description, it seems to be less prone to crashing. Since it crashes in pthreads, it looks like this may be some kind of threading bug. I'll try to replicate the problem here, but in the meantime it would be useful if you could try running fio under the Cygwin build of gdb to capture a stack trace in fio.exe. -- Bruce -- 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
