Hi,

Does the verify option work with mixed read/write case, like rw or randrw  ?

It's not clear from the help text (pasted below).

                This option can be used for repeated burn-in tests of a
                system to make sure that the written data is also
                correctly read back. If the data direction given is
                a read or random read, fio will assume that it should
                verify a previously written file. If the data direction
                includes any form of write, the verify will be of the
                newly written data.

Thanks,

Vikram.
