Hi,
I tagged version 2.1 of fio this morning. The slight jump in versions
(from 2.0.x to 2.1) is meant to signify that the experimental gfio gtk
frontend has now been merged into the main branch. Other changes:
- Support for specifying the randomness of a random workload. Instead of
having an on/off switch for random vs sequential, add a
percentage_random= option that allows you to have a workload that is
eg 80% random and 20% sequential by setting percentage_random=80.
- Make initial file fill honor the compression settings for compressible
IO buffers. Also caught a bug in that logic, where it could hang if
compress_chunk wasn't also set.
- gfio frontend. It should work fine for running various job files, on
the local machine or on a remote machine (it supports sockets or
tcp/ip v4/v6). There's very limited and not-very-tested support for
editing existing job files. Still some work to be done here.
- Fixes of the log_*() functions, we now catch incorrectly used format
specifiers just like we would with eg printf().
- Better Android integration
- Various other little fixes, tweaks, and even features.
Go forth and update, test, and report any anomalies!
