.BI pre_read \fR=\fPbool
If this is given, files will be pre-read into memory before starting the given
IO operation. This will also clear the \fR \fBinvalidate\fR flag, since it is
-pointless to pre-read and then drop the cache.
+pointless to pre-read and then drop the cache. This will only work for IO
+engines that are seekable, since they allow you to read the same data
+multiple times. Thus it will not work on eg network or splice IO.
.TP
.BI unlink \fR=\fPbool
Unlink job files when done. Default: false.
If true, exit the job on the first observed verification failure. Default:
false.
.TP
+.BI verify_async \fR=\fPint
+Fio will normally verify IO inline from the submitting thread. This option
+takes an integer describing how many async offload threads to create for IO
+verification instead, causing fio to offload the duty of verifying IO contents
+to one or more separate threads.
+.TP
+.BI verify_async_cpus \fR=\fPstr
+Tell fio to set the given CPU affinity on the async IO verification threads.
+See \fBcpus_allowed\fP for the format used.
+.TP
.B stonewall
Wait for preceeding jobs in the job file to exit before starting this one.
\fBstonewall\fR implies \fBnew_group\fR.
