<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Shyam,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks a lot for such a detailed reply. I am new to this and was trying hard to learn and got your help in the right time. After getting your reply, I have experimented more and following are the findings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am clear with all the pre-requisites except only one. I searched for any -easy to understand- examples online, but couldn&#8217;t find any. My clients.ioz file has the &#8220;hostname &nbsp;directory iozone_pathname&#8221;. But where to specify the number of
 threads per client ? In the recent commit, Number of threads are set to 4 in the script. But how to do that while running our own iozone command ?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So far, I am unable to find the cause of the following errors.

<p class="MsoNormal">Since we are getting the expected results, I assume covering all the pre-requisites rightly except the above mentioned one.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While I run the actual gbench script, I get the following log. [ https://paste.fedoraproject.org/449225/63310741/ ]<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am also trying to find the cause of the errors to my knowledge and will report any progress soon. I have made few syntactic corrections in the code and also updated the readme as you said in the previous email and generated a pull request.
 Kindly review it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now, Please let me know what all you expect in the application other than my understanding and the timeline and few initial contributions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Note: I looked into few articles to reply properly into a thread in a mailing list. I changed the subject as Re: Re: Sub. Still, If I am unable to place it rightly in the thread, I am sorry. I will look into it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
