I don't see this error. <file> 13:28:50 > cat foo.fio # test http://lore.kernel.org/[email protected] [global] filename=/mnt/bench/foo ioengine=io_uring size=1G bs=4K iodepth=64 numjobs=64 direct=1 fsync=1 runtime=30s time_based=1 [rand-write] rw=randwrite </file> It's possible I'm doing something wrong.

Also, does this affect performance at all?
