may be used as a block range. This typically wont work with
direct IO, as that normally requires sector alignment.
+zero_buffers If this option is given, fio will init the IO buffers to
+ all zeroes. The default is to fill them with random data.
+
nrfiles=int Number of files to use for this job. Defaults to 1.
openfiles=int Number of files to keep open at the same time. Defaults to
a specified job will run, so this parameter is handy to
cap the total runtime to a given time.
+time_based If set, fio will run for the duration of the runtime
+ specified even if the file(s) are completey read or
+ written. It will simply loop over the same workload
+ as many times as the runtime allows.
+
invalidate=bool Invalidate the buffer/page cache parts for this file prior
to starting io. Defaults to true.
cpuchunks=int If the job is a CPU cycle eater, split the load into
cycles of the given time. In milliseconds.
+disk_util=bool Generate disk utilization statistics, if the platform
+ supports it. Defaults to on.
