Hi All, There seems to be a bug while parsing environment variables when using client/server mode. Consider the following: # fio -version fio-3.7-21-gab56 # fio --server=localhost& # cat test.job [test] ioengine=libaio direct=1 rw=randread iodepth=${QD} size=100% bs=4k filename=/dev/nvme0n1 runtime=5s # QD=1 fio test.job fio-3.7-21-gab56 Starting 1 process Jobs: 1 (f=1): [r(1)][100.0%][r=320MiB/s,w=0KiB/s][r=81.9k,w=0 IOPS][eta 00m:00s] # QD=1 fio --client=localhost test.job be=0, 64-bit, os=Linux, arch=x86-64, fio=fio-3.7-21-gab56, flags=1 fio: failed parsing iodepth=${QD} fio: job test dropped I haven't deciphered where exactly the issue is in parse.c. Any thoughts? Thanks.
