Hi, I am looking at performing some small files benchmark and i would like to confirm few things here: 1) Random distribution, for file type test, is this only applicable to how it choose offset in the file? 2) file_service_type, is this decide which file to be opened during test if i choose to have openfiles less than nrfiles? I would like to confirm those points is because i intend to run workload test that simulate hot file access. At any one time, the files open will be less than the total files in the system and there will be files that are hot and get access multiple times. Can i do it using fio? Thanks.
