Open mmoole opened 1 year ago
Disk utilization data is not available for files residing on ZFS pools. The data come from https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/block/stat.txt but there is no single block device that fio can associate with the ZFS pool where the file resides.
The same is true for files residing on btrfs file systems.
Someone could enhance the disk utilization code to accommodate this use case but fio currently lacks this capability.
That makes perfect sense, maybe this applies to even more cases like software raid etc... This could be added to the documentation on terse output, I would suggest.

Description of the bug: Running fio on a file on a zpool or not gives different output when set to terse:
It seems that fio cannot get a disk name and thus stops outputting data in terse format with the column 'disk_name'. But it would be quite useful to have also this data...
