fio: fio (Flexible I/O Tester)
fio:
-fio: fio is an I/O tool meant to be used both for benchmark and
-fio: stress/hardware verification. It has support for 13 different types of
-fio: I/O engines (sync, mmap, libaio, posixaio, SG v3, splice, null,
-fio: network, syslet, guasi, solarisaio, and more), I/O priorities (for
-fio: newer Linux kernels), rate I/O, forked or threaded jobs, and much
-fio: more. It can work on block devices as well as files. fio displays all
-fio: sorts of I/O performance information. Fio is in wide use in many
-fio: places, for both benchmarking, QA, and verification purposes.
+fio: fio is a tool that will spawn a number of threads or processes doing
+fio: a particular type of io action as specified by the user. fio takes a
+fio: number of global parameters, each inherited by the thread unless
+fio: otherwise parameters given to them overriding that setting is given.
+fio: The typical use of fio is to write a job file matching the io load
+fio: one wants to simulate.
