New Features:
- Improved continuous write performance
- Decreased memory utilization
- Reduced groomer induced latency spikes (not an issue for most
workloads)
- Improved write endurance for all products.
- Thermal monitoring and preemptive performance throttling /
shutdown in over temp conditions to prevent thermal damage to IBM
High IOPS SSD PCIe Adapters. See the user guides for further
details.
- 4k sector sizes, along with existing 512b sectors on most
platforms.
- Support for hosting a page file/ swap partition.
- Parallel attach on driver load when auto_attach enabled
(default), most platforms.
- Parallel scan of all drives after a dirty shutdown.
- Trim/Discard enabled by default.
- Fine tuning options for preallocate mode.
Management/Utilities:
- Driver and other configuration file name changes to
iomemory-vsl and VSL.
- fio-attach and fio-detach can take multiple /dev/fct* devices
simultaneously.
- New fio-format options and capabilities:
- Don't prompt, was -f in 1.2.x, is now -y in 2.x.x.
- Run quietly, -q.
- Don't prompt, was -f in 1.2.x, is now -y in 2.x.x.
- fio-status
- Added RAM usage statistics
- Reports power related metrics.
- Added PCIe width and other PCI related items.
- Added RAM usage statistics
- Linux: Improved fio-status speed when driver loaded.
- fio-status no longer displays 'unknown' if slot number is
invalid, doesn't display the 'slot:' tag at all.
Fixes:
- Fixed calculation in media health percentage.
- Improvements in shutdown handling.
- Work on systems with IOMMUs.
- Fixed fio-status induced lockup.
