Hi, When you report these issues could you cut the fio job file down to the smallest possible file that still reproduces the problem (i.e. removing any line in the job file should make the problem disappear)?

Is that correct and your intent? One immediate issue is that you aren't likely to achieve your I/O depth of 8 because OS restrictions on buffered I/O (see https://github.com/axboe/fio/blob/fio-2.2.7/HOWTO#L785 for warning about libaio and buffered I/O case). -- 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
