No fio doesn't have generic code to deduce the underlying LBA size of a block device (although certain ioengines such as sg find it out for themselves for other purposes). Personally, I've found it's not easy to find out the block size a filesystem is using which would make such a feature less useful since fio works on files as well as block devices. Further if you actually need to do arithmetic with the value then it's nicer to do all of that upfront and no later than parsing time so doing it outside of fio as you are doing seems preferable... -- Sitsofe | http://sucs.org/~sits/ -- 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
