Hi,
I want to perform stride write access to a block device but
I don't have a clue how I can do that.
What I want to do is to perform a stride access that
each write size is 1 sector and 7 sectors are apart between each writes.
(i.e. Only the first sector of each 4KB block)
For example,
0, 8, 16, 24, 32, ...
And, it repeat over the device until certain amount of writes are accomplished.
In my case, amount of 32MB to 508KB device.
I consider the command below works like as I want but it doesn't actually.
Instead, it looks performing ordinary 512KB seq write.
fio --name=test --filename=#{dev.path} --rw=write --ioengine=libaio --direct=1 --io_limit=32M --size=100% --ba=4k --bs=512
My questions are:
1) How to perform stride write access in fio?
2) If fio is not a appropriate tool for this purpose, easy to fix?
Or do you recommend other tool?
- Akira
