Hi Jens, Is it possible to set the ioengine and iodepth on a replay job? Would it have any effect on the replay jobs? I tried setting as below, but didnt see any change. So wanted to make sure if what I am doing is valid. [global] replay_no_stall=1 ioengine=posixaio buffered=0 iodepth=6 [job1] read_iolog=/home/file_3080658.bin
The ioengine will always work, the iodepth should work as well. blktrace loading doesn't actually set the iodepth, so it should run at depth 1 unless you tell it otherwise. That should be fixed up, actually.
That said, you wont see higher depth than the job itself has done. The depth will be naturally limited by the events in that trace. However, if a lower depth is set, then that should be enforced (since fio is forced to wait on IO if it runs out of IO buffers).
