A lot of SoC boards come with integrated SATA it would be nice to be
able to use fio to test performance of those boards.

Hi Dragan,

please propose this as a PR on the packages feed on github

Hi John,

thanks for the clarification, I looked at the github openwrt repo and it
said that it's just a mirror of
[https://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt.git] but admittedly I didn't
look at the github packages repo. That's what got me confused (new here)...

I wasn't aware but Daniel apparently submitted a PR on github in January:
[https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/5396]

Daniel and I synced up, I'll take package ownership but it's his PR that
should be pulled in.

Any ideas when this will make it in?

Thanks in advance!

Subject: [PATCH] Add support for Flexible I/O Tester

A lot of SoC boards come with integrated SATA,
this adds fio to the build so performance can
be tested.

+ Flexible I/O Tester
+
+ Fio was originally written to save me the hassle of writing special test case
+ programs when I wanted to test a specific workload, either for performance
+ reasons or to find/reproduce a bug. The process of writing such a test app can
+ be tiresome, especially if you have to do it often.  Hence I needed a tool that
+ would be able to simulate a given I/O workload without resorting to writing a
+ tailored test case again and again.
+
+ A test work load is difficult to define, though. There can be any number of
+ processes or threads involved, and they can each be using their own way of
+ generating I/O. You could have someone dirtying large amounts of memory in an
+ memory mapped file, or maybe several threads issuing reads using asynchronous
+ I/O. fio needed to be flexible enough to simulate both of these cases, and many
+ more.
+
+ Fio spawns a number of threads or processes doing a particular type of I/O
+ action as specified by the user. fio takes a number of global parameters, each
+ inherited by the thread unless otherwise parameters given to them overriding
+ that setting is given.  The typical use of fio is to write a job file matching
+ the I/O load one wants to simulate.
