Description-en: flexible I/O tester
fio is a tool that will spawn a number of threads or processes doing a
particular type of I/O action as specified by the user. fio takes a
number of global parameters, each inherited by the thread unless
otherwise parameters given to them overriding that setting is given.
The typical use of fio is to write a job file matching the I/O load
one wants to simulate.
.
This package contains the command line version of fio and all additional
command line tools. The package gfio contains the GTK+ based gui frontend
for fio.
