Hello Folks:
Getting a "segmentation fault" error when running latest fio version
(3.12.27-g68af) on vmware 6.0:
> ./fio --bs=16k --size=10GB --readwrite=randrw --ioengine=posixaio
--filename=test10GB.fio --direct=1 --sync=1 --rwmixread=50 --rwmixwrite=50
--direct=1 --sync=1 --name=testvmw6
testvmw6: (g=0): rw=randrw, bs=(R) 16.0KiB-16.0KiB, (W) 16.0KiB-16.0KiB, (T)
16.0KiB-16.0KiB, ioengine=posixaio, iodepth=1

FIO binary built from Docker using the following Dockerfile (Kudos to Mark
Beierl!)
===
FROM multiarch/alpine:x86_64-v3.6 (--- I also tried v3.8 ---)
RUN apk --no-cache add --update \
git \
alpine-sdk \
coreutils \
linux-headers \
libaio \
libaio-dev \
zlib-dev
RUN git clone http://git.kernel.dk/fio.git fio
RUN cd fio && ./configure --esx
RUN cd fio && EXTFLAGS="-static" make -j $(grep -c ^processor /proc/cpuinfo)
install
===
Do I need to use an older fio version and Dockerfile config to run fio on
vmware 6.0, or is the segmentation error due to something else? Not sure
how to debug this further. Any insight how to debug this further is very
much appreciated.
Regards,
Eliezer
