Hi, I've hit a bug in using the combination of bsrange and verify. Basically I want to do a random write test with a variable block size, and then verify the content after the write. But for some reason, the verify phase fails consistently. Linux distribution: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, Linux version 3.5.0-23-generic $ fio --version fio 1.59 Conf file: [global] thread=1 ioengine=libaio buffered=0 direct=1 runtime=5400 write_iolog=./w_iolog2 [rand-write] bsrange=512-32K filename=disk.raw iodepth=1280 size=256M verify=meta verify_pattern=0x33 rw=randwrite The output complains as the following: Jobs: 1 (f=1): [V] [50.5% done] [0K/0K/0K /s] [0 /0 /0 iops] [eta 01m:40s] verify: bad magic header 0, wanted acca at file /home/maohua/test-clone/softwareCache/qemu/iscsi_sdd2/disk.raw offset 1179648, length 0 fio: pid=6118, err=84/file:io_u.c:1477, func=io_u_queued_complete, error=Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character rand-write: (groupid=0, jobs=1): err=84 (file:io_u.c:1477, func=io_u_queued_complete, error=Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character): pid=6118: Fri Jan 24 17:40:16 201 -- 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
