Running fio-2.1.9-1-g0aa0 (with one trivial build patch)
built on debian sid, deployed on centos 6.5.
No command line args, just this one jobfile:
[global]
filename=test/mnt/80g
readwrite=randwrite
fallocate=none
blocksize=32k
ioengine=libaio
direct=1
time_based=1
[big-random]
description=Big random writes, 32k, 80 GB
filesize=80g
iodepth=8
runtime=10
write_bw_log=big-random
write_lat_log=big-random
[small-hotspot]
description=Small hotspot, 32k, 500 MB
filesize=500m
iodepth=32
runtime=10
write_bw_log=small-hotspot
write_lat_log=small-hotspot
I want it two run the two jobs concurrently, both exiting after
10 seconds regardless of the data volumes written. The filename
does not exist when I start fio.
Most of the time it just works, and produces output like this:
unix$ rm test/mnt/80g ; ./fio-2.1.9 jobfile

But sometimes it doesn't stop both jobs at 10 seconds. It seems the
first one keeps going.

There's the first 10 sec chunk with both jobs. Then a second 10
sec in there with just job#1, then another half hour of only job#1.
Looking at the ETAs and average throughput, that's about as long
as it would take to fill the entire 80 GB disk.
Could it be that fio gets confused about time_based=1, and
tries to run to completion? But only sometimes. This often
works and I use it for regular testing (at longer runs, like
600 sec).
Thanks,
