Subject: Proper way to shut down FIO in Linux
Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2018 12:56:10 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8d5a5fe209774d24b9df39cf6a226dbb@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I'm using FIO to run IOs to a number of block devices.  I'm looking for
the proper way to shut down all the threads that are spawned.

I'm doing the following:

/usr/bin/pkill --signal INT fio

Most of the time this works fine, but I do have cases where some of the
FIO processes remain open.  Eventually I get a 300s timeout and then
they're killed.

A couple questions:

1.	When these threads have to be ungracefully killed, do the results
still get counted in the output file?
a.	I'm using JSON output file
2.	Is there a better way I should be killing all the threads?
