As the option hints at, it's just debug output. Mostly deals with how it 
resolves md/dm devices to the underlying devices, and so forth. So not 
sure there's that much interesting there to you, unless you are trying 
to debug a problem with it.

In general, fio figures out what devices to monitor, and then 
continually opens the stat files and collects the appropriate 
information every 250msecs.
