Subject: Suggestion on size= and test length
Date: Sun, 02 Jan 2011 05:12:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D1FFB19.7020202@shiftmail.org> (raw)

Dear fio developers,

Thanks for the very good application, but may I suggest that the size= 
option controls only the size of the files used for the test (in 
particular random r/w tests), while there should be another option 
totaltransfer= which controls how long is the test? And/or a walltime= 
option to make the test length time based... even better!

Currently we either are hit by short seeks (size= small) or have to wait 
for impossibly long tests uselessly (size= large).

Thank you
