Hello! In some cases the ramp up period is not easy to define by amount of time. This is for example a case of buffered writes measurement where we want to start measuring only once dirty throttling kicks in. The time until dirty throttling kicks in depends on dirty limit (easy to figure out) and speed of writes to the page cache (difficult to know in advance). This patch series adds to fio an option to specify ramp up period in terms of amount to IO - i.e., the ramp up period finishes once given amount of IO is done. Please consider including this feature in fio, it would help us make some testing we do more reliable. Thanks! Honza
