bug: fio only uses first file in filename

bug: fio only uses first file in filename

[George Dowding]

Hi,

I've been using this command with fio-2.0.7. When I tried this with
fio-201.7 from git, it would only write to the first file in the
filename list.

./fio --filename=/dev/sdb:/dev/sdc:/dev/sdd:/dev/sde:/dev/sdf:/dev/sdg
--direct=1 --rw=randwrite --bs=4k --iodepth=128 --runtime=30
--group_reporting --name=file1 --ioengine=libaio

Linux perf-bench 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 20:39:51
UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It looks like this behavior changed as of bcd27f7.

Adding before and after output. If there is a different way this
should be run. I'm ok with that as I'd like to upgrade to the newer
version.

Can you try current -git?
