From 12324d569861b83fb76e874122ddfcf28ee8d485 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Damien Le Moal Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2021 10:24:02 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] fio: Improve documentation of ignore_zone_limits option In the manual pages, change the description of the option ignore_zone_limits to its action when set, instead of the confusing text describing what happens when it is not set. Also add the description of this option in the HOWTO file as it is missing.
