Hi Jens,

Thanks for your answer. Sorry for delay - was OOO.
The patch is very simple: is necessary to add words ", this is the default value" after description of the tausworthe generator:


  999 random_generator=str    Fio supports the following engines for generating
1000                 IO offsets for random IO:
1001
1002                 tausworthe      Strong 2^88 cycle random number generator,
			        this is the default value.
1003                 lfsr            Linear feedback shift register generator
1004                 tausworthe64    Strong 64-bit 2^258 cycle random number
1005                                 generator

Could you please add it to one of your future commits, since I'm not familiar enough with patching?

Sure, I added a mention of that to the HOWTO and man page.
