+For mixed I/O, the default split is 50/50. For certain types of io the result
+may still be skewed a bit, since the speed may be different. It is possible to
+specify a number of IO's to do before getting a new offset, this is one by
+appending a `:\fI<nr>\fR to the end of the string given. For a random read, it
+would look like \fBrw=randread:8\fR for passing in an offset modifier with a
+value of 8. If the postfix is used with a sequential IO pattern, then the value
+specified will be added to the generated offset for each IO. For instance,
+using \fBrw=write:4k\fR will skip 4k for every write. It turns sequential IO
+into sequential IO with holes. See the \fBrw_sequencer\fR option.

+\fBsequential\fR is only useful for random IO, where fio would normally
+generate a new random offset for every IO. If you append eg 8 to randread, you
+would get a new random offset for every 8 IO's. The result would be a seek for
+only every 8 IO's, instead of for every IO. Use \fBrw=randread:8\fR to specify
+that. As sequential IO is already sequential, setting \fBsequential\fR for that
+would not result in any differences. \fBidentical\fR behaves in a similar
+fashion, except it sends the same offset 8 number of times before generating a
+new offset.
