-.. option:: zonesize=int
+.. option:: zonemode=str
+
+ Accepted values are:
- Divide a file into zones of the specified size. See :option:`zoneskip`.
+ **none**
+ The :option:`zonerange`, :option:`zonesize` and
+ :option:`zoneskip` parameters are ignored.
+ **strided**
+ I/O happens in a single zone until
+ :option:`zonesize` bytes have been transferred.
+ After that number of bytes has been
+ transferred processing of the next zone
+ starts.
+ **zbd**
+ Zoned block device mode. I/O happens
+ sequentially in each zone, even if random I/O
+ has been selected. Random I/O happens across
+ all zones instead of being restricted to a
+ single zone. The :option:`zoneskip` parameter
+ is ignored. :option:`zonerange` and
+ :option:`zonesize` must be identical.
.. option:: zonerange=int
- Give size of an I/O zone. See :option:`zoneskip`.
+ Size of a single zone. See also :option:`zonesize` and
+ :option:`zoneskip`.
+
+.. option:: zonesize=int
+
+ For :option:`zonemode` =strided, this is the number of bytes to
+ transfer before skipping :option:`zoneskip` bytes. If this parameter
+ is smaller than :option:`zonerange` then only a fraction of each zone
+ with :option:`zonerange` bytes will be accessed. If this parameter is
+ larger than :option:`zonerange` then each zone will be accessed
+ multiple times before skipping to the next zone.
+
+ For :option:`zonemode` =zbd, this is the size of a single zone. The
+ :option:`zonerange` parameter is ignored in this mode.
.. option:: zoneskip=int
- Skip the specified number of bytes when :option:`zonesize` data has been
- read. The two zone options can be used to only do I/O on zones of a file.
+ For :option:`zonemode` =strided, the number of bytes to skip after
+ :option:`zonesize` bytes of data have been transferred. This parameter
+ must be zero for :option:`zonemode` =zbd.
+
+.. option:: read_beyond_wp=bool
+
+ This parameter applies to :option:`zonemode` =zbd only.
+
+ Zoned block devices are block devices that consist of multiple zones.
+ Each zone has a type, e.g. conventional or sequential. A conventional
+ zone can be written at any offset that is a multiple of the block
+ size. Sequential zones must be written sequentially. The position at
+ which a write must occur is called the write pointer. A zoned block
+ device can be either drive managed, host managed or host aware. For
+ host managed devices the host must ensure that writes happen
+ sequentially. Fio recognizes host managed devices and serializes
+ writes to sequential zones for these devices.
+
+ If a read occurs in a sequential zone beyond the write pointer then
+ the zoned block device will complete the read without reading any data
+ from the storage medium. Since such reads lead to unrealistically high
+ bandwidth and IOPS numbers fio only reads beyond the write pointer if
+ explicitly told to do so. Default: false.
+
+.. option:: max_open_zones=int
+
+ When running a random write test across an entire drive many more
+ zones will be open than in a typical application workload. Hence this
+ command line option that allows to limit the number of open zones. The
+ number of open zones is defined as the number of zones to which write
+ commands are issued.
+
+.. option:: zone_reset_threshold=float
+
+ A number between zero and one that indicates the ratio of logical
+ blocks with data to the total number of logical blocks in the test
+ above which zones should be reset periodically.
+
+.. option:: zone_reset_frequency=float
+
+ A number between zero and one that indicates how often a zone reset
+ should be issued if the zone reset threshold has been exceeded. A zone
+ reset is submitted after each (1 / zone_reset_frequency) write
+ requests. This and the previous parameter can be used to simulate

I/O engine specific parameters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
with the caveat that when used on the command line, they must come after the
:option:`ioengine` that defines them is selected.
+.. option:: hipri : [io_uring]
+
+ If this option is set, fio will attempt to use polled IO completions.
+ Normal IO completions generate interrupts to signal the completion of
+ IO, polled completions do not. Hence they are require active reaping
+ by the application. The benefits are more efficient IO for high IOPS
+ scenarios, and lower latencies for low queue depth IO.
+
+.. option:: fixedbufs : [io_uring]
+
+ If fio is asked to do direct IO, then Linux will map pages for each
+ IO call, and release them when IO is done. If this option is set, the
+ pages are pre-mapped before IO is started. This eliminates the need to
+ map and release for each IO. This is more efficient, and reduces the
+ IO latency as well.
+
+.. option:: sqthread_poll : [io_uring]
+
+ Normally fio will submit IO by issuing a system call to notify the
+ kernel of available items in the SQ ring. If this option is set, the
+ act of submitting IO will be done by a polling thread in the kernel.
+ This frees up cycles for fio, at the cost of using more CPU in the
+ system.
+
+.. option:: sqthread_poll_cpu : [io_uring]
+
+ When :option:`sqthread_poll` is set, this option provides a way to
+ define which CPU should be used for the polling thread.
+
.. option:: userspace_reap : [libaio]
Normally, with the libaio engine in use, fio will use the
With writefua option set to 1, write operations include
the force unit access (fua) flag. Default is 0.
+.. option:: sg_write_mode=str : [sg]
+
+ Specify the type of write commands to issue. This option can take three values:
+
+ **write**
+ This is the default where write opcodes are issued as usual.
+ **verify**
+ Issue WRITE AND VERIFY commands. The BYTCHK bit is set to 0. This
+ directs the device to carry out a medium verification with no data
+ comparison. The writefua option is ignored with this selection.
+ **same**
+ Issue WRITE SAME commands. This transfers a single block to the device
+ and writes this same block of data to a contiguous sequence of LBAs
+ beginning at the specified offset. fio's block size parameter specifies
+ the amount of data written with each command. However, the amount of data
+ actually transferred to the device is equal to the device's block
+ (sector) size. For a device with 512 byte sectors, blocksize=8k will
+ write 16 sectors with each command. fio will still generate 8k of data
+ for each command but only the first 512 bytes will be used and
+ transferred to the device. The writefua option is ignored with this
+ selection.
+
+.. option:: http_host=str : [http]
+
+ Hostname to connect to. For S3, this could be the bucket hostname.
+ Default is **localhost**
+
+.. option:: http_user=str : [http]
+
+ Username for HTTP authentication.
+
+.. option:: http_pass=str : [http]
+
+ Password for HTTP authentication.
+
+.. option:: https=str : [http]
+
+ Enable HTTPS instead of http. *on* enables HTTPS; *insecure*
+ will enable HTTPS, but disable SSL peer verification (use with
+ caution!). Default is **off**
+
+.. option:: http_mode=str : [http]
+
+ Which HTTP access mode to use: *webdav*, *swift*, or *s3*.
+ Default is **webdav**
+
+.. option:: http_s3_region=str : [http]
+
+ The S3 region/zone string.
+ Default is **us-east-1**
+
+.. option:: http_s3_key=str : [http]
+
+ The S3 secret key.
+
+.. option:: http_s3_keyid=str : [http]
+
+ The S3 key/access id.
+
+.. option:: http_swift_auth_token=str : [http]
+
+ The Swift auth token. See the example configuration file on how
+ to retrieve this.
+
+.. option:: http_verbose=int : [http]
+
+ Enable verbose requests from libcurl. Useful for debugging. 1
+ turns on verbose logging from libcurl, 2 additionally enables
+ HTTP IO tracing. Default is **0**
+
+.. option:: uri=str : [nbd]
+
+ Specify the NBD URI of the server to test. The string
+ is a standard NBD URI
+ (see https://github.com/NetworkBlockDevice/nbd/tree/master/doc).
+ Example URIs: nbd://localhost:10809
+ nbd+unix:///?socket=/tmp/socket
+ nbds://tlshost/exportname
I/O depth
~~~~~~~~~
``serialize_overlap`` tells fio to avoid provoking this behavior by explicitly
serializing in-flight I/Os that have a non-zero overlap. Note that setting
this option can reduce both performance and the :option:`iodepth` achieved.
- Additionally this option does not work when :option:`io_submit_mode` is set to
- offload. Default: false.
+
+ This option only applies to I/Os issued for a single job except when it is
+ enabled along with :option:`io_submit_mode`=offload. In offload mode, fio
+ will check for overlap among all I/Os submitted by offload jobs with :option:`serialize_overlap`
+ enabled.
+
+ Default: false.
.. option:: io_submit_mode=str
:manpage:`blktrace(8)` for how to capture such logging data. For blktrace
replay, the file needs to be turned into a blkparse binary data file first
(``blkparse <device> -o /dev/null -d file_for_fio.bin``).
+ You can specify a number of files by separating the names with a ':'
+ character. See the :option:`filename` option for information on how to
+ escape ':' and '\' characters within the file names. These files will
+ be sequentially assigned to job clones created by :option:`numjobs`.
+
+.. option:: read_iolog_chunked=bool
+
+ Determines how iolog is read. If false(default) entire :option:`read_iolog`
+ will be read at once. If selected true, input from iolog will be read
+ gradually. Useful when iolog is very large, or it is generated.
+
+.. option:: merge_blktrace_file=str
+
+ When specified, rather than replaying the logs passed to :option:`read_iolog`,
+ the logs go through a merge phase which aggregates them into a single
+ blktrace. The resulting file is then passed on as the :option:`read_iolog`
+ parameter. The intention here is to make the order of events consistent.
+ This limits the influence of the scheduler compared to replaying multiple
+ blktraces via concurrent jobs.
+
+.. option:: merge_blktrace_scalars=float_list
+
+ This is a percentage based option that is index paired with the list of
+ files passed to :option:`read_iolog`. When merging is performed, scale
+ the time of each event by the corresponding amount. For example,
+ ``--merge_blktrace_scalars="50:100"`` runs the first trace in halftime
+ and the second trace in realtime. This knob is separately tunable from
+ :option:`replay_time_scale` which scales the trace during runtime and
+ does not change the output of the merge unlike this option.
+
+.. option:: merge_blktrace_iters=float_list
+
+ This is a whole number option that is index paired with the list of files
+ passed to :option:`read_iolog`. When merging is performed, run each trace
+ for the specified number of iterations. For example,
+ ``--merge_blktrace_iters="2:1"`` runs the first trace for two iterations
+ and the second trace for one iteration.
.. option:: replay_no_stall=bool
.. option:: replay_align=int
- Force alignment of I/O offsets and lengths in a trace to this power of 2
- value.
+ Force alignment of the byte offsets in a trace to this value. The value

.. option:: replay_scale=int
- Scale sector offsets down by this factor when replaying traces.
+ Scale byte offsets down by this factor when replaying traces. Should most
+ likely use :option:`replay_align` as well.
+
+.. option:: replay_skip=str
+
+ Sometimes it's useful to skip certain IO types in a replay trace.
+ This could be, for instance, eliminating the writes in the trace.
+ Or not replaying the trims/discards, if you are redirecting to
+ a device that doesn't support them. This option takes a comma
+ separated list of read, write, trim, sync.

+I/O Replay - Merging Traces
+---------------------------
+
+Colocation is a common practice used to get the most out of a machine.
+Knowing which workloads play nicely with each other and which ones don't is
+a much harder task. While fio can replay workloads concurrently via multiple
+jobs, it leaves some variability up to the scheduler making results harder to
+reproduce. Merging is a way to make the order of events consistent.
+
+Merging is integrated into I/O replay and done when a
+:option:`merge_blktrace_file` is specified. The list of files passed to
+:option:`read_iolog` go through the merge process and output a single file
+stored to the specified file. The output file is passed on as if it were the
+only file passed to :option:`read_iolog`. An example would look like::
+
+ $ fio --read_iolog="<file1>:<file2>" --merge_blktrace_file="<output_file>"
+
+Creating only the merged file can be done by passing the command line argument
+:option:`merge-blktrace-only`.
+
+Scaling traces can be done to see the relative impact of any particular trace
+being slowed down or sped up. :option:`merge_blktrace_scalars` takes in a colon
+separated list of percentage scalars. It is index paired with the files passed
+to :option:`read_iolog`.
+
+With scaling, it may be desirable to match the running time of all traces.
+This can be done with :option:`merge_blktrace_iters`. It is index paired with
+:option:`read_iolog` just like :option:`merge_blktrace_scalars`.
+
+In an example, given two traces, A and B, each 60s long. If we want to see
+the impact of trace A issuing IOs twice as fast and repeat trace A over the
+runtime of trace B, the following can be done::
+
+ $ fio --read_iolog="<trace_a>:"<trace_b>" --merge_blktrace_file"<output_file>" --merge_blktrace_scalars="50:100" --merge_blktrace_iters="2:1"
+
+This runs trace A at 2x the speed twice for approximately the same runtime as
+a single run of trace B.

-I/Os the *value* entry will always be 1. If windowed logging is enabled through
-:option:`log_avg_msec`, fio logs the average values over the specified period of time.
-If windowed logging is enabled and :option:`log_max_value` is set, then fio logs
-maximum values in that window instead of averages. Since *data direction*, *block
-size* and *offset* are per-I/O values, if windowed logging is enabled they
-aren't applicable and will be 0.
+Fio defaults to logging every individual I/O but when windowed logging is set
+through :option:`log_avg_msec`, either the average (by default) or the maximum
+(:option:`log_max_value` is set) *value* seen over the specified period of time
+is recorded. Each *data direction* seen within the window period will aggregate
+its values in a separate row. Further, when using windowed logging the *block
+size* and *offset* entries will always contain 0.
