Hi There is false pass when changing rand_seed in verify_only. What have I missed in workloads? or it's a bug in fio 3.18? I've run the following workloads: 1) write random, with a rand_seed. [global] ioengine=libaio iodepth=32 runtime=0 cpus_allowed_policy=split group_reporting=1 cpus_allowed=0-0 do_verify=1 verify=sha512 bs=4096 filename=/dev/nvme0n2 direct=1 loops=1 percentile_list=99:99.9:99.99:99.999:99.9999 norandommap random_generator=lfsr rw=randwrite verify_fatal=1 allrandrepeat=0 randseed=44234 [job_0] offset=0 size=52428800 test pass. 2) write random, with other rand_seed and verify_only=1. job is expected to fail but it passed successfully.
