Hello,
previously I've used fio mainly at Linux and OS X, so I didn't have any
issues with fio in server mode. Now I'm trying to simulate workload to
shared storage for Windows clients and this functionality with remote
control of fio instances running at Windows machines will be very handy.
Unfortunately it isn't possible to use it that way, because of missing
waitpid() syscall implementation and forking in MinGw builds for Windows.
I've stumbled upon at some messages posted 2y ago, where Bruce explained it.
http://www.spinics.net/lists/fio/msg02565.html
I don't know, if I got it correctly, but can be a build with Cygwin
toolchain possible workaround for this issue?
I've tried to compile current fio with Cygwin (so no MinGw toolchain)
and compiler variables override, but failed badly.. It doesn't even pass
through crc/test.c with lot of messed definitions. Is it currently
possible to build with it or MinGW is currently only way for Windows
compilation of fio?
Kind regards,
Michal
