The test script is used to test a storage device. What queue depth does the storage device receive?

Did you see the warnings with the libaio engine in the manual/documentation (https://fio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fio_doc.html#i-o-engine ) or the warning in the iodepth option section (https://fio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fio_doc.html#cmdoption-arg-iodepth )? -- Sitsofe | http://sucs.org/~sits/
