It looks fine, in fact if that is your setup, then you are not using the
multi file stuff. Your job files basically creates a process per device,
which should work fine as-is.
You can try and play with the iodepth batching control, iodepth_batch
and iodepth_batch_complete. They both default to 1, meaning that it'll
submit and complete 1 command at the time.
