single zone. The :option:`zoneskip` parameter
is ignored. :option:`zonerange` and
:option:`zonesize` must be identical.
+ Trim is handled using a zone reset operation.
+ Trim only considers non-empty sequential write
+ required and sequential write preferred zones.
.. option:: zonerange=int
number of open zones is defined as the number of zones to which write
commands are issued.
+.. option:: job_max_open_zones=int
+
+ Limit on the number of simultaneously opened zones per single
+ thread/process.
+
.. option:: zone_reset_threshold=float
A number between zero and one that indicates the ratio of logical
character devices. This engine supports trim operations.
The sg engine includes engine specific options.
+ **libzbc**
+ Read, write, trim and ZBC/ZAC operations to a zoned
+ block device using libzbc library. The target can be
+ either an SG character device or a block device file.
+
**null**
Doesn't transfer any data, just pretends to. This is mainly used to
exercise fio itself and for debugging/testing purposes.
achieving higher concurrency and thus throughput than is possible
via kernel NFS.
+ **exec**
+ Execute 3rd party tools. Could be used to perform monitoring during jobs runtime.
