Hi, can we use fio to write different data patterns using "buffer_pattern" or any other option to a single file after different offsets and verify the same? The requirement is : 1. Create a 1GB file on a shared volume from host_1. 2. From host _1, while creating the test file use different data patterns to write the file. (example : patterns aaa,xxx,ccc should be filled in the same file at different offsets) 3. From host_2, read the file and do a verify_pattern. -- Cheers Manu K S
