It has support for 13 different types of I/O engines (sync, +mmap, libaio, posixaio, SG v3, splice, null, network, syslet, guasi, +solarisaio, and more), I/O priorities (for newer Linux kernels), rate I/O, +forked or threaded jobs, and much more. It can work on block devices as well +as files. fio accepts job descriptions in a simple-to-understand text format. +Several example job files are included. fio displays all sorts of I/O +performance information. Fio is in wide use in many places, for both +benchmarking, QA, and verification purposes. It supports Linux, FreeBSD, +NetBSD, OS X, OpenSolaris, AIX, HP-UX, and Windows. |
