Hi, I would like to validate my understanding on fio zipfian random_distribution. Form my understanding, a zipfian 1.2 means ~95% of IO access will be concentrated on 5% offset location (Do correct me if i am wrong). So if i have a file with 100 offsets, i cold have offset 1, offset 5, offset 20, offset 86, offset 99 get repeatedly access. So my question is, is this offset being chosen randomly? Or is it possible to specify based on spatial locality, where nearby offset tend to be accessed together? Thanks.
