Replaying a trace can't be looped

[ssoms]

Hello,

I am using fio version 3.12 and I have a trace (in trace file format v2) to be run on a ssd using fio. I am having trouble getting the loops parameter to work, all I am trying to do is loop the trace file x number of times. This is how my jobfile looks like:
[global]
direct=1
read_iolog=ssdTrace.log
ioengine=windowsaio
loops=20
numjobs=1

[job1]
replay_no_stall=1
iodepth=16
stonewall

If I run this, it seems like it runs only 1 loop and exits out after that. I have tried running just a seq Rd or seq Wr WL and those seem to work correctly looping the number specified.
Any suggestions on how to debug this further ? Sorry if this has already been answered before, I tried to do a search and came up with no results similar to mine.

Thanks!

@ssoms I wonder... Maybeloops doesn't impact trace replaying.

I see, I'm starting to dig through the source code to see how loops is being used, will report back if I find something. I did run it on a linux system and that doesn't work for me either.
I could have a script to loop through the trace x times but that is making it slower than my target time.

We don't have reset logic for replaying a trace, so the loops won't work. Should not be hard to add, though.
