I even tried buffer_pattern=0xDEADBEEF and other params.It's not going to take a string, it needs to be a decimal of hexidecimal number. I added some code to error out if it fails parsing this now. buffer_pattern=0xDEADBEEF should work, and does for me: axboe@lenny:/home/axboe/git/fio $ hexdump fio-data 0000000 beef dead beef dead beef dead beef dead * 0001000
I added the string support now as well, it was pretty trivial. -- Jens Axboe -- 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
