Getting support for fio

General questions

Please use the fio mailing list for asking general fio questions (e.g. “How do I do X?”, “Why does Y happen?”). See the Mailing list section of the README for details).

Reporting bugs

As mentioned in REPORTING-BUGS, fio bugs and enhancements can be reported to the fio mailing list or fio's GitHub issues tracker.

When reporting bugs please include ALL of the following:

• Description of the issue
• fio version number tested. If your fio isn't among the recent releases (see the fio releases page) please build a new one from source (see the Source and Building sections of the README for how to do this) and reproduce the issue with the fresh build before filing an issue.
• Reproduction steps and minimal job file/command line parameters.

When requesting an enhancement only the description is needed.

GitHub issues specific information

Formatting terminal output with markdown will help people who are reading your report. However, if the output is large (e.g. over 15 lines long) please consider including it as a text attachment. Avoid attaching pictures of screenshots as these are not searchable/selectable.
