The manpage for iozone is inaccurate. The synopsis shows:
SYNOPSIS
Iozone [-s kilobytes] [-r record_length in kb] [-f
[path]filename] [-i test] [-E] [-p] [-a] [-A] [-m] [-M]
[-t children] [-h] [-o] [-l min_number_procs] [-u
max_number_procs] [-v] [-R] [-x] [-d microseconds] [-F
path1 path2...] [-V pattern ] [-j stride] [-T] [-C] [-B]
[-D] [-G] [-I] [-H depth] [-k depth] [-U mount_point] [-S
cache_size] [-O] [-L line_size] [-N] [-Q] [-P start_cpu]
[-c] [-e]
Which means that every single argument is optional. However when I run
just "iozone" it complains:
$ iozone

Usage: For usage information type iozone -h
If there are any minimum required arguments then they should not be in
square brackets ([]) but instead should be unbracketted or if there are
a group of mutually exclusive options they should be in a elipsis ({}).
