Please don't top post, reply beneath what you are replying to.

Parser looks confused, because you forgot to add the value for the
create_only option. If you use --create_only=1 instead, it should work.

I wonder why that isn't caught in the command line variant, if you put
it in a job file it does catch it:

axboe@nelson:/home/axboe/git/fio $ ./fio seq-null 
Option create_only requires an argument
fio: failed parsing create_only
fio: job global dropped

I'll take a look at that separately.
