number of open zones is defined as the number of zones to which write
commands are issued.
+.. option:: job_max_open_zones=int
+
+ Limit on the number of simultaneously opened zones per single
+ thread/process.
+
.. option:: zone_reset_threshold=float
A number between zero and one that indicates the ratio of logical
this option will also enable :option:`refill_buffers` to prevent every buffer
being identical.
+.. option:: dedupe_mode=str
+
+ If ``dedupe_percentage=<int>`` is given, then this option controls how fio
+ generates the dedupe buffers.
+
+ **repeat**
+ Generate dedupe buffers by repeating previous writes
+ **working_set**
+ Generate dedupe buffers from working set
+
+ ``repeat`` is the default option for fio. Dedupe buffers are generated
+ by repeating previous unique write.
+
+ ``working_set`` is a more realistic workload.
+ With ``working_set``, ``dedupe_working_set_percentage=<int>`` should be provided.
+ Given that, fio will use the initial unique write buffers as its working set.
+ Upon deciding to dedupe, fio will randomly choose a buffer from the working set.
+ Note that by using ``working_set`` the dedupe percentage will converge
+ to the desired over time while ``repeat`` maintains the desired percentage
+ throughout the job.
+
+.. option:: dedupe_working_set_percentage=int
+
+ If ``dedupe_mode=<str>`` is set to ``working_set``, then this controls
+ the percentage of size of the file or device used as the buffers
+ fio will choose to generate the dedupe buffers from
+
+ Note that size needs to be explicitly provided and only 1 file per
+ job is supported
+
.. option:: invalidate=bool
Invalidate the buffer/page cache parts of the files to be used prior to
achieving higher concurrency and thus throughput than is possible
via kernel NFS.
+ **exec**
+ Execute 3rd party tools. Could be used to perform monitoring during jobs runtime.

I/O engine specific parameters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
URL in libnfs format, eg nfs://<server|ipv4|ipv6>/path[?arg=val[&arg=val]*]
Refer to the libnfs README for more details.
+.. option:: program=str : [exec]
+
+ Specify the program to execute.
+
+.. option:: arguments=str : [exec]
+
+ Specify arguments to pass to program.
+ Some special variables can be expanded to pass fio's job details to the program.
+
+ **%r**
+ Replaced by the duration of the job in seconds.
+ **%n**
+ Replaced by the name of the job.
+
+.. option:: grace_time=int : [exec]
+
+ Specify the time between the SIGTERM and SIGKILL signals. Default is 1 second.
+
+.. option:: std_redirect=boot : [exec]
+
+ If set, stdout and stderr streams are redirected to files named from the job name. Default is true.
