Hmm, good question. I've tried to assign them to a specific CPU via --cpus_allowed_policy=split and --cpus_allowed. fio --rw=randwrite --name=test --size=50M --iodepth=32 --direct=1 \ --bs=4k --numjobs=40 --time_based --runtime=1h --ioengine=libaio \ --group_reporting --cpus_allowed_policy=split --cpus_allowed=0-40 Though I haven't verified what happens when the CPU get's back online. > What is the block driver NVMe? I've used a qla2xxx device. Hannes asked my to retry it with a megasas device. Thanks, Daniel
