Hi, First of all thanks for such a nice tool to do IO testing. I am wondering if it is possible to test accessing a single file from multiple clients to test distributed file system behavior. The reason for this test is to see if it has different behavior than having numjobs > 1 accessing same file running on same host.
Sure, you can do that. Fio doesn't really care about whether the file is shared or not. Obviously some things like verification might not work properly, but just reading and writing to a shared file, fio doesn't care if it's local or not.
