What I am looking for is to be able to dump the write_iops_log while fio is running so that I can see the point in time average IOps for a given interval For example if I have log_avg_msec=60000 it will write an iops.log file with 60second intervals, unfortunately this file doesn't get created until fio exits. Is there a way to get this to dump on a regular basis (or by touching a file in /tmp) so that I can tail the output? I am looking for a way to get point in time status via a script and the output from tmp-dump-status only gives me averages from the start of time rather than the last interval Thank you, Kurt
