Fio 2.0.15 tagged

Hi,

As you may have noticed in the automated daily commit mailing, version 2.0.15 of fio was tagged yesterday. In no particular order, the changes and new features are:

- Various fixes to Android, both on the build front (better integration and cross-build support) and adding IO priority support as well. This from Aaron Carroll.

- The newly introduced LFSR support was overhauled, switching to a galois based one which is more suitable. From Alex Pyrgiotis.

- A new --eta-newline command line parameter was added. This is mostly useful for long running jobs, where you want a new line in there every x amount of time. Gives you a visual clue on how the job rates change over time, for the cases where you don't really want or need full logging.

- Addition of a --parse-only command line option. Checks the validity of a job, without actually running it.

- A few fixes for Solaris/SunOS, fixing the net engine nodelay pickup and man page installation.

- A fix for a bug where fio would re-run a job section.

- Rework of the shared file locking, should work better now.

- A bug in the random map where the minimum and maximum block sizes differed by more than a factor 64.

- Fix for a bug that could cause skewed latencies if rate_iops= was used. From SEOKYOUNG KO.

- Fix bandwidth output being all zeroes with the json output format selected.

- CPU clock fixes, notably for powerpc.

All users of 2.x should upgrade.
