Hello fio group. I have a volume with 3573 files and I am trying to write to them 10 at a time in sequential order so I have: [job] direct=1 bs=128k rw=write refill_buffers opendir=/media/sped/rmfs openfiles=10 file_service_type=sequential The above is close to what I want. Fio sees all 3573 files but only services 1 file at a time. If I remove file_service_type=sequential fio services 10 files at a time but using lsof I see only the last file incrementing: fio 6003 root 3u REG 8,17 134217728 84934 /media/sped/rmfs/0001 fio 6003 root 4u REG 8,17 134217728 84935 /media/sped/rmfs/0002 fio 6003 root 5u REG 8,17 134217728 84936 /media/sped/rmfs/0003 fio 6003 root 6u REG 8,17 134217728 84937 /media/sped/rmfs/0004 fio 6003 root 7u REG 8,17 134217728 84938 /media/sped/rmfs/0005 fio 6003 root 8u REG 8,17 134217728 84939 /media/sped/rmfs/0006 fio 6003 root 9u REG 8,17 134217728 84940 /media/sped/rmfs/0007 fio 6003 root 10u REG 8,17 134217728 84941 /media/sped/rmfs/0008 fio 6003 root 11u REG 8,17 134217728 84942 /media/sped/rmfs/0009 fio 6003 root 12u REG 8,17 134217728 90617 /media/sped/rmfs/0058 Fio version is latest from git: fio-3.0-9-gb427 Is this the correct behavior? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe fio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
