the job to exit. The same format as rate is used for read vs
write seperation.
+max_latency=int If set, fio will exit the job if it exceeds this maximum
+ latency. It will exit with an ETIME error.
+
ratecycle=int Average bandwidth for 'rate' and 'ratemin' over this number
of milliseconds.
allows a range of CPUs. Say you wanted a binding to CPUs
1, 5, and 8-15, you would set cpus_allowed=1,5,8-15.
+numa_cpu_nodes=str Set this job running on spcified NUMA nodes' CPUs. The
+ arguments allow comma delimited list of cpu numbers,
+ A-B ranges, or 'all'. Note, to enable numa options support,
+ export the following environment variables,
+ export EXTFLAGS+=" -DFIO_HAVE_LIBNUMA "
+ export EXTLIBS+=" -lnuma "
+
+numa_mem_policy=str Set this job's memory policy and corresponding NUMA
+ nodes. Format of the argements:
+ <mode>[:<nodelist>]
+ `mode' is one of the following memory policy:
+ default, prefer, bind, interleave, local
+ For `default' and `local' memory policy, no node is
+ needed to be specified.
+ For `prefer', only one node is allowed.
+ For `bind' and `interleave', it allow comma delimited
+ list of numbers, A-B ranges, or 'all'.
+
startdelay=time Start this job the specified number of seconds after fio
has started. Only useful if the job file contains several
jobs, and you want to delay starting some jobs to a certain
points in the job file. A stone wall also implies starting
a new reporting group.
-new_group Start a new reporting group. If this option isn't given,
- jobs in a file will be part of the same reporting group
- unless separated by a stone wall (or if it's a group
- by itself, with the numjobs option).
+new_group Start a new reporting group. See: group_reporting.
numjobs=int Create the specified number of clones of this job. May be
used to setup a larger number of threads/processes doing
- the same thing. We regard that grouping of jobs as a
- specific group.
-
-group_reporting If 'numjobs' is set, it may be interesting to display
- statistics for the group as a whole instead of for each
- individual job. This is especially true of 'numjobs' is
- large, looking at individual thread/process output quickly
- becomes unwieldy. If 'group_reporting' is specified, fio
- will show the final report per-group instead of per-job.
+ the same thing. Each thread is reported separately; to see
+ statistics for all clones as a whole, use group_reporting in
+ conjunction with new_group.

thread fio defaults to forking jobs, however if this option is
given, fio will use pthread_create(3) to create threads
ioscheduler=str Attempt to switch the device hosting the file to the specified
io scheduler before running.
-cpuload=int If the job is a CPU cycle eater, attempt to use the specified
- percentage of CPU cycles.
-
-cpuchunks=int If the job is a CPU cycle eater, split the load into
- cycles of the given time. In microseconds.
-
disk_util=bool Generate disk utilization statistics, if the platform
supports it. Defaults to on.
1 Backward-compatible alias for 'all'.
+ignore_error=str Sometimes you want to ignore some errors during test
+ in that case you can specify error list for each error type.
+ ignore_error=READ_ERR_LIST,WRITE_ERR_LIST,VERIFY_ERR_LIST
+ errors for given error type is separated with ':'. Error
+ may be symbol ('ENOSPC', 'ENOMEM') or integer.
+ Example:
+ ignore_error=EAGAIN,ENOSPC:122
+ This option will ignore EAGAIN from READ, and ENOSPC and
+ 122(EDQUOT) from WRITE.
+
+error_dump=bool If set dump every error even if it is non fatal, true
+ by default. If disabled only fatal error will be dumped
+
cgroup=str Add job to this control group. If it doesn't exist, it will
be created. The system must have a mounted cgroup blkio
mount point for this to work. If your system doesn't have it
enabled when polling for a minimum of 0 events (eg when
iodepth_batch_complete=0).
+[cpu] cpuload=int Attempt to use the specified percentage of CPU cycles.
+
+[cpu] cpuchunks=int Split the load into cycles of the given time. In
+ microseconds.
+
[netsplice] hostname=str
[net] hostname=str The host name or IP address to use for TCP or UDP based IO.
If the job is a TCP listener or UDP reader, the hostname is not
[net] proto=str The network protocol to use. Accepted values are:
tcp Transmission control protocol
- udp Unreliable datagram protocol
+ udp User datagram protocol
unix UNIX domain socket
When the protocol is TCP or UDP, the port must also be given,
