Hi Juan,
Could you provide the fio version you are using (fio -v)? I'm currently
using the latest version from git and I don't see these results.
Specifically, what I'm getting is:
-------------------------------
test_job: (g=0): rw=randwrite, bs=8K-8K/8K-8K/8K-8K, ioengine=sync,
iodepth=1
fio-2.1.2-13-g3e10
Starting 1 process
Value is 7
Value is 6
Value is 4
Value is 0
Value is 1
Value is 5
Value is 2
Value is 3
test_job: (groupid=0, jobs=1): err= 0: pid=24672: Tue Aug 20 10:27:28 2013
write: io=65536B, bw=64000KB/s, iops=8000, runt= 1msec
clat (usec): min=6, max=43, avg=11.50, stdev=12.75
lat (usec): min=7, max=44, avg=11.88, stdev=12.99
clat percentiles (usec):
<...snip...>
lat (usec) : 10=87.50%, 50=12.50%
cpu : usr=0.00%, sys=0.00%, ctx=16, majf=0, minf=41
<...snip...>
Run status group 0 (all jobs):
WRITE: io=64KB, aggrb=64000KB/s, minb=64000KB/s, maxb=64000KB/s,
mint=1msec, maxt=1msec
Disk stats (read/write):
sda: ios=0/0, merge=0/0, ticks=0/0, in_queue=0, util=0.00%
-------------------------------
The output has been cut in some parts for readability reasons. Also, the
"Value is..." lines have been added to show which blocks fio is hitting.
Regards,
Alex
