Hi Neto, Have you tried using buffer_compress_percentage? Setting this to 100 would get you 100% compressible data while 0 would be 0% compressible. Note that if you use fio prior to version 2.1.6 in git, you will also want to set scramble_buffers=0 to get the desired compression. I don't know how you would control how dedupable the data is, since to my knowledge there is no way to specify how repeatable the data pattern is. But I think fully incompressible data is naturally not dedupable, while the opposite is true for fully compressible data. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe fio" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
