Start I/O at the provided offset in the file, given as either a fixed size in
bytes or a percentage. If a percentage is given, the generated offset will be
aligned to the minimum \fBblocksize\fR or to the value of \fBoffset_align\fR if

offset is aligned to the minimum block size.

Normally fio operates within the region set by \fBsize\fR, which means
that the \fBsize\fR option sets both the region and size of I/O to be
performed. Sometimes that is not what you want. With this option, it is
