I am just curios if FIO can test a Windows partition, say F: as the assigned drive letter.
What would be the correct syntax do I need to put on a "filename" parameter?
Do I need to use the "directory" parameter instead?
Specifying F: (or F:\) would test the filesystem, not the partition. I'm
not aware of any way to easily test the area of disk on which the
partition resides - you'd need to test the disk \\.\PhysicalDriveX and
seek to the starting sector. However, Windows prevents writes to areas
of a disk which contains filesystems, so you would only be able to read
and not write.
