Subject: Proper way to shut down FIO in Linux
Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2018 12:56:10 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8d5a5fe209774d24b9df39cf6a226dbb@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I'm using FIO to run IOs to a number of block devices. I'm looking for
the proper way to shut down all the threads that are spawned.
I'm doing the following:
/usr/bin/pkill --signal INT fio
Most of the time this works fine, but I do have cases where some of the
FIO processes remain open. Eventually I get a 300s timeout and then
they're killed.
A couple questions:
1. When these threads have to be ungracefully killed, do the results
still get counted in the output file?
a. I'm using JSON output file
2. Is there a better way I should be killing all the threads?
