Fwd: FIO Windows Documentation

Hi!


FIO is a wonderful tool. Great work!!


In the documentation (readme + fio.1 files) is this description:



“On Windows, disk devices are accessed as `\\\\.\\PhysicalDrive0' for

the first device, `\\\\.\\PhysicalDrive1' for the second etc.”



This is predicated by this description:

“Each colon and backslash in the wanted path must be escaped with a '\\'

character.”



In the case of Windows (Server 2019), the extra ‘\\’ is not required.
My (successful) job file appears as such:

[readtest]
blocksize=1M
filename=\\.\PhysicalDrive1
rw=read
direct=0
#raw=1
buffered=0
#size=1G
thread=1



I would be grateful that the documentation be updated accordingly.



Thank you!

Adam
