Is there a clean way to create a fio job that just waits for a fixed time period? I'm fairly new to fio, and want a delay between two consecutive jobs. I use "wait_for" to serialize as needed, and expected "startdelay" to allow me to put the desired delay between the two. But it looks like the startdelay for a job begins when fio starts and not when the job referenced in a "wait_for" finishes. I can play games with a job with a very low bandwidth limit (e.g. 1B/s) and "runtime" and "time_based", but it feels hacky. Am I thinking about how to get a delay between two jobs wrong? Is there a better way? I realize I could just run fio multiple times with command line delays between the runs, but I'd like the results of the runs to share the same time basis and output/log files. Thanks, Nick
