Hello, I am testing fio client/server mode locally. Below are the steps I have followed. bash# fio --server fio: server listening on 0.0.0.0,8765 bash# fio --client=localhost --name job1 --size 1M job1: (g=0): rw=read, bs=4K-4K/4K-4K/4K-4K, ioengine=psync, iodepth=1 The output has stopped with one line as above and remaining outputs are not printing. But when I pass job file, complete output is printing. bash# fio --client=0.0.0.0 /home/randread.fio hostname=Mohan, be=0, 64-bit, os=Linux, arch=x86-64, fio=fio-2.16, flags=1 <Mohan> Bafjo: (g=0): rw=randread, bs=4K-4K/4K-4K/4K-4K, ioengine=psync, iodepth=1 <Mohan> Starting 1 process Bafjo: (groupid=0, jobs=1): err= 0: pid=14048: Tue Oct 30 13:43:04 2018 00m:00s] read : io=10240KB, bw=3855.5KB/s, iops=963, runt= 2656msec clat (usec): min=129, max=106418, avg=1024.37, stdev=2361.84 lat (usec): min=129, max=106419, avg=1025.20, stdev=2361.84 clat percentiles (usec): | 1.00th=[ 159], 5.00th=[ 187], 10.00th=[ 223], 20.00th=[ 306], | 30.00th=[ 394], 40.00th=[ 556], 50.00th=[ 748], 60.00th=[ 988], | 70.00th=[ 1224], 80.00th=[ 1496], 90.00th=[ 1928], 95.00th=[ 2256], | 99.00th=[ 2736], 99.50th=[ 9536], 99.90th=[15040], 99.95th=[23424], | 99.99th=[105984] bw (KB /s): min= 38, max=31751, per=100.00%, avg=8072.33, stdev=6448.75 lat (usec) : 250=12.81%, 500=24.73%, 750=12.62%, 1000=10.47% lat (msec) : 2=30.55%, 4=7.89%, 10=0.55%, 20=0.31%, 50=0.04% lat (msec) : 250=0.04% cpu : usr=1.92%, sys=5.88%, ctx=2564, majf=0, minf=78 IO depths : 1=100.0%, 2=0.0%, 4=0.0%, 8=0.0%, 16=0.0%, 32=0.0%, >=64=0.0% submit : 0=0.0%, 4=100.0%, 8=0.0%, 16=0.0%, 32=0.0%, 64=0.0%, >=64=0.0% complete : 0=0.0%, 4=100.0%, 8=0.0%, 16=0.0%, 32=0.0%, 64=0.0%, >=64=0.0% issued : total=r=2560/w=0/d=0, short=r=0/w=0/d=0, drop=r=0/w=0/d=0 latency : target=0, window=0, percentile=100.00%, depth=1 Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=10240KB, aggrb=3855KB/s, minb=3855KB/s, maxb=3855KB/s, mint=2656msec, maxt=2656msec Disk stats (read/write): sda: ios=2518/3, merge=0/9, ticks=2472/44, in_queue=2516, util=90.09% <Mohan> Am I missing any options while passing parameters as command line options?
