write Sequential writes
randwrite Random writes
randread Random reads
- rw Sequential mixed reads and writes
+ rw,readwrite Sequential mixed reads and writes
randrw Random mixed reads and writes
For the mixed io types, the default is to split them 50/50.
F Running, currently waiting for fsync()
V Running, doing verification of written data.
E Thread exited, not reaped by main thread yet.
-_ Thread reaped.
+_ Thread reaped, or
+X Thread reaped, exited with an error.
+K Thread reaped, exited due to signal.
The other values are fairly self explanatory - number of threads
currently running and doing io, rate of io since last check (read speed
listed first, then write speed), and the estimated completion percentage
and time for the running group. It's impossible to estimate runtime of
-the following groups (if any).
+the following groups (if any). Note that the string is displayed in order,
+so it's possible to tell which of the jobs are currently doing what. The
+first character is the first job defined in the job file, and so forth.
When fio is done (or interrupted by ctrl-c), it will show the data for
each thread, group of threads, and disks in that order. For each data
latency, since queue/complete is one operation there. This
value can be in milliseconds or microseconds, fio will choose
the most appropriate base and print that. In the example
- above, milliseconds is the best scale.

clat= Completion latency. Same names as slat, this denotes the
time from submission to completion of the io pieces. For
sync io, clat will usually be equal (or very close) to 0,
