The ioengine will always work, the iodepth should work as well. blktrace
loading doesn't actually set the iodepth, so it should run at depth 1
unless you tell it otherwise. That should be fixed up, actually.
That said, you wont see higher depth than the job itself has done. The
depth will be naturally limited by the events in that trace. However, if
a lower depth is set, then that should be enforced (since fio is forced
to wait on IO if it runs out of IO buffers).
