Apologies, where I said block number I should have said "io sequence number" (because you're using verify=meta): Assuming I only do my verification at the end of a run, if I've overwritten a block how do I verify that the io sequence number of the earlier writes to that block were correct? Wouldn't the block will contain only the io sequence number of the last write to it? -- Sitsofe | http://sucs.org/~sits/ -- 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
