hi all I am using fio (2.1.7) for a simple sequential write test (see command below). It seems the process will get stuck on "Laying out IO file" for a long long time ... Of course, smaller size take less time for layout, I am curious as to, is FIO trying to precreate the file before doing write, what's going on there? ./fio --rw=write --size=128g --bs=8m --filename=/test/$RANDOM --ioengine=posixaio --iodepth=16 --name=mytest Thanks Alex -- 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
