FIO 3.16 bug #11

Open metaspace opened 2 years ago

metaspace commented 2 years ago

Running the fio_zone_write benchmark on a conventional disk fails with fio-3.16. It works fine with fio-3.28. We should check the version of fio before executing the benchmark command.

fio 3.16 does not support ZNS/Zone capacity. Can't remember the version which contains the initial support.

Docs are not accurate then: https://zonedstorage.io/docs/benchmarking/benchmark/#fio-zoned-block-device-support. They indicate 3.9 should be OK.
