fio create multithreaded jobs

  • Create a new file and add following lines to the file. Let's name the file as "fio_script" 
    		
		[jobname]
		rw=read
		size=14000
		bs=4090
		ioengine=sync
		numjobs=2
		thread
  • We run fio script by using fio command: 
     
		
		Syntax $fio <scriptname>
		Eg: $fio fio_script
  • 'thread' command tells fio to create n threads (2 threads in this example) to complete the job instead of forking n processes.
