This used to work just a couple of years back ;). Am I missing something? runtime (http://fio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fio_doc.html#cmdoption-arg-runtime ) by itself sets the maximum amount of time a job will run for but it can exit earlier for other reasons (e.g. file size has been done). Perhaps you also wanted to add time_based (http://fio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fio_doc.html#cmdoption-arg-time-based ) ? That option says that the I/O should be looped if necessary until runtime is exceeded. -- 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
