Did you test null_blk device? I didn't get result as expected using null_blk. 1. # fio --filename=/dev/nullb0 --readwrite=readwrite --bs=4k --direct=1 --loops =1000000 --name=plain Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: bw=390MiB/s (409MB/s), 390MiB/s-390MiB/s (409MB/s-409MB/s), io=10.6GiB (11.3GB), run=27744-27744msec WRITE: bw=390MiB/s (409MB/s), 390MiB/s-390MiB/s (409MB/s-409MB/s), io=10.6GiB (11.3GB), run=27744-27744msec 2.
