creates 8 files (numjobs=8) each with size 512MB (size) at 64K block size (bs=64k) and will perform random read/write (rw=randrw) with the mixed workload of 70% reads and 30% writes. | |
The job will run for full 5 minutes (runtime=300 & time_based) even if the files were created and read/written. | |

compare disk performance with a simple 3:1 4K read/write test | |
creates a 4 GB file and perform 4KB reads and writes using a 75%/25% split within the file, with 64 operations running at a time. The 3:1 ratio represents a typical database. | |
