I can see this option being confusing to those who do not understand what is actually be done here. i.e. we'll get complaints along the lines of "-M say xfs_io does multithreaded IO, but I only see IO from one thread!". Can we name this "-i" to mean "run an idle-loop", which will stop people trying to use it for something it doesn't do? > --- a/io/Makefile > +++ b/io/Makefile .... > --- a/io/init.c > +++ b/io/init.c .... Missing a man page update to document this new option.
