Fio resides in a git repo, the canonical place is:
- git://git.kernel.dk/fio.git
-
-When inside a corporate firewall, git:// URL sometimes does not work.
-If git:// does not work, use the http protocol instead:
-
- http://git.kernel.dk/fio.git
+ https://git.kernel.dk/cgit/fio/
Snapshots are frequently generated and :file:`fio-git-*.tar.gz` include the git
meta data as well. Other tarballs are archives of official fio releases.
Snapshots can download from:
- http://brick.kernel.dk/snaps/
+ https://brick.kernel.dk/snaps/
There are also two official mirrors. Both of these are automatically synced with
the main repository, when changes are pushed. If the main repo is down for some
reason, either one of these is safe to use as a backup:
- git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/fio.git
-
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/fio.git
-or

support process shared pthread mutexes. As a result, on such platforms only
threads are supported. This could be fixed with sysv ipc locking or other
locking alternatives.
