typically won't work with direct I/O, as that normally requires sector
alignment.
-.. option:: bs_is_seq_rand
+.. option:: bs_is_seq_rand=bool
If this option is set, fio will use the normal read,write blocksize settings
as sequential,random blocksize settings instead. Any random read or write
replay, the file needs to be turned into a blkparse binary data file first
(``blkparse <device> -o /dev/null -d file_for_fio.bin``).
-.. option:: replay_no_stall=int
+.. option:: replay_no_stall=bool
When replaying I/O with :option:`read_iolog` the default behavior is to
attempt to respect the timestamps within the log and replay them with the
all jobs in a file will be part of the same reporting group, unless
separated by a :option:`stonewall`.
-.. option:: stats
+.. option:: stats=bool
By default, fio collects and shows final output results for all jobs
that run. If this option is set to 0, then fio will ignore it in
you instead want to log the maximum value, set this option to 1. Defaults to
0, meaning that averaged values are logged.
-.. option:: log_offset=int
+.. option:: log_offset=bool
If this is set, the iolog options will include the byte offset for the I/O
entry as well as the other data values. Defaults to 0 meaning that
.B exitall
Terminate all jobs when one finishes. Default: wait for each job to finish.
.TP
-.B exitall_on_error \fR=\fPbool
+.B exitall_on_error
Terminate all jobs if one job finishes in error. Default: wait for each job
to finish.
.TP
Specifies the number of iterations (runs of the same workload) of this job.
Default: 1.
.TP
-.BI verify_only \fR=\fPbool
+.BI verify_only
Do not perform the specified workload, only verify data still matches previous
invocation of this workload. This option allows one to check data multiple
times at a later date without overwriting it. This option makes sense only for
Replay the I/O patterns contained in the specified file generated by
\fBwrite_iolog\fR, or may be a \fBblktrace\fR binary file.
.TP
-.BI replay_no_stall \fR=\fPint
+.BI replay_no_stall \fR=\fPbool
While replaying I/O patterns using \fBread_iolog\fR the default behavior
attempts to respect timing information between I/Os. Enabling
\fBreplay_no_stall\fR causes I/Os to be replayed as fast as possible while
connections rather than initiating an outgoing connection. The
hostname must be omitted if this option is used.
.TP
-.BI (net,netsplice)pingpong \fR=\fPbool
+.BI (net,netsplice)pingpong
Normally a network writer will just continue writing data, and a network reader
will just consume packets. If pingpong=1 is set, a writer will send its normal
payload to the reader, then wait for the reader to send the same payload back.

+.BI (mtd)skip_bad \fR=\fPbool
Skip operations against known bad blocks.
.SH OUTPUT
While running, \fBfio\fR will display the status of the created jobs. For
