fio output not printing on the terminal when used fio cmd line options in client/server mode.

[Mohanraj B]

Hello,

I am testing fio client/server mode locally. Below are the steps I
have followed.

bash# fio --server
fio: server listening on 0.0.0.0,8765

bash# fio --client=localhost --name job1 --size 1M
job1: (g=0): rw=read, bs=4K-4K/4K-4K/4K-4K, ioengine=psync, iodepth=1

The output has stopped with one line as above and remaining outputs
are not printing.

But when I pass job file, complete output is printing.
bash# fio --client=0.0.0.0 /home/randread.fio

Am I missing any options while passing parameters as command line options?

Thanks and Regards,

^^^ Your fio is pretty old - https://github.com/axboe/fio/releases ....

Not exactly - you can't use command line for jobs when you're using
client mode: https://github.com/axboe/fio/issues/621 ....
