+Reporting a bug
+---------------
+
+If you notice anything that seems like a fio bug, please do send email
+to the list (fio-devel@kernel.dk, see README) about it. You'll need
+to report at least:
+
+1) A description of what you think the bug is
+2) Environment (Linux distro version, kernel version). This is mostly
+   needed if it's a build bug.
+3) The fio version. The most useful is the git top level commit, you
+   can find out by doing a cat .git/HEAD from the top level fio directory.
+4) How to reproduce. Please include a full list of the parameters
+   passed to fio and the job file used (if any).
+
+That's it!
