If set, fio will use POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL for sequential
IO and POSIX_FADV_RANDOM for random IO.
+fadvise_stream=int Notify the kernel what write stream ID to place these
+ writes under. Only supported on Linux. Note, this option
+ may change going forward.
+
size=int The total size of file io for this job. Fio will run until
this many bytes has been transferred, unless runtime is
limited by other options (such as 'runtime', for instance,
zero_buffers If this option is given, fio will init the IO buffers to
all zeroes. The default is to fill them with random data.
- The resulting IO buffers will not be completely zeroed,
- unless scramble_buffers is also turned off.
refill_buffers If this option is given, fio will refill the IO buffers
on every submit. The default is to only fill it at init
random IO. If this option is given, fio will just get a
new random offset without looking at past io history. This
means that some blocks may not be read or written, and that
- some blocks may be read/written more than once. This option
- is mutually exclusive with verify= if and only if multiple
- blocksizes (via bsrange=) are used, since fio only tracks
- complete rewrites of blocks.
+ some blocks may be read/written more than once. If this option
+ is used with verify= and multiple blocksizes (via bsrange=),
+ only intact blocks are verified, i.e., partially-overwritten
+ blocks are ignored.
softrandommap=bool See norandommap. If fio runs with the random block map
enabled and it fails to allocate the map, if this option is
