range of possible random values.
Defaults are: random for **pareto** and **zipf**, and 0.5 for **normal**.
If you wanted to use **zipf** with a `theta` of 1.2 centered on 1/4 of allowed value range,
- you would use ``random_distibution=zipf:1.2:0.25``.
+ you would use ``random_distribution=zipf:1.2:0.25``.
For a **zoned** distribution, fio supports specifying percentages of I/O
access that should fall within what range of the file or device. For
To avoid false verification errors, do not use the norandommap option when
verifying data with async I/O engines and I/O depths > 1. Or use the
norandommap and the lfsr random generator together to avoid writing to the
- same offset with muliple outstanding I/Os.
+ same offset with multiple outstanding I/Os.
