I'm not aware of any other option other than offset
(http://fio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fio_doc.html#cmdoption-arg-offset
) that controls
where fio starts its initial I/O when doing normal sequential I/O forwards. Be
aware fio often works in terms of bytes - it (usually)
has no awareness of LBAs or LBA sizes because the things it opens are
(usually) byte addressable.

I hesitate to ask but what was wrong with offset?
