Hi folks, I'm running fio-2.2.5 on a Linux x86_64 platform. This is the first time I've had to create a job file with an extremely large number of job sections within the same file (hundreds of jobs). I need each job to run sequentially and have included "stonewall" within each section. When I execute the job file, I get this error: error: maximum number of jobs (2048) reached. When I reduce the number of job sections in the file to under 200, the job runs sequentially as expected. My understanding of "stonewall" is that it should serialize the running of each job within a file (or files). The implication is that fio shouldn't be evaluating a subsequent job section until after the current job has fully completed. But in this case, fio appears to be looking ahead and ignoring the "stonewall" directive until it exhausts resources. This behavior also occurs within the current git commit. Is this a feature or a bug, and is there another way to tell fio to execute each job sequentially (top to bottom) as it encounters them in the file?
