When I do a sequential read test with multiple threads, the initial write only uses one thread. Is there some way to adjust this? For example a command like this: fio --name moe --rw read --directory /mnt/nv01/fio/local --size 40G --bs 4M --numjobs 4 --group_reporting --direct 1 It lays out four files one at a time, then it reads them all back at once. I would like to lay out the four files simultaneously to save time. I hope this makes sense; I'm not sure if I'm phrasing this in the right way.
