Hi there,

I just would like to share with you that the DAOS File System (DFS) engine has been integrated into the upstream FIO repository (https://github.com/axboe/fio).

How to build it on centos7:

$ sudo yum install centos-release-scl

$ sudo yum install -y git devtoolset-9-gcc libuuid-devel

$ scl enable devtoolset-9 bash

$ git clone http://git.kernel.dk/fio.git

$ cd fio

If DAOS is installed via RPMs:

$ ./configure 

Otherwise:

$ CFLAGS="-I/path/to/daos/install/include" LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/daos/install/lib64" ./configure

$ make -j install

How to use it:

$ export POOL= # your pool UUID

$ export CONT= # your container UUID

$ fio ./examples/dfs.fio

Those instructions will be integrated soon into our online documentation.

Cheers,

Johann
