Hi all, We run into fio hang (sleep forever) all the time with latest fio (fio --version fio-2.11-12-g82e6) Kernel 4.4.5 on Debian Jessie Configuration: cat test.ini [global] ioengine=libaio direct=1 time_based=1 # runtime options runtime=5 ramp_time=5 filename=/dev/ram0 [job1] blocksize=32k [job2] blocksize=128k stonewall Fio process is sleep in: cat /proc/9891/stack [<ffffffff810ba469>] hrtimer_nanosleep+0xc9/0x1b0 [<ffffffff810ba5a7>] SyS_nanosleep+0x57/0x70 [<ffffffff81810757>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x6a [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff If I remove the ramp_time, problem is gone.
