+.BI allow_file_create \fR=\fPbool
+If true, fio is permitted to create files as part of its workload. This is
+the default behavior. If this option is false, then fio will error out if the
+files it needs to use don't already exist. Default: true.
+.TP
.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
.BI replay_scale \fR=\fPint
Scale sector offsets down by this factor when replaying traces.

+.BI per_job_logs \fR=\fPbool
+If set, this generates bw/clat/iops log with per file private filenames. If
+not set, jobs with identical names will share the log filename. Default: true.
+.TP
.BI write_bw_log \fR=\fPstr
If given, write a bandwidth log of the jobs in this job file. Can be used to
store data of the bandwidth of the jobs in their lifetime. The included
fio_generate_plots script uses gnuplot to turn these text files into nice
graphs. See \fBwrite_lat_log\fR for behaviour of given filename. For this
option, the postfix is _bw.x.log, where x is the index of the job (1..N,

.BI write_lat_log \fR=\fPstr
Same as \fBwrite_bw_log\fR, but writes I/O completion latencies. If no
filename is given with this option, the default filename of
"jobname_type.x.log" is used, where x is the index of the job (1..N, where
N is the number of jobs). Even if the filename is given, fio will still
