I used fio 1.22. The below is a script which I actually ran.

  #!/bin/sh
  dev1=/dev/sdb4 # SATA disk
  echo "0 $(sudo blockdev --getsize $dev1) ioband $dev1 share2 0 0
    cgroup range-bw 0" | sudo dmsetup create ioband1

  arg="--time_based --runtime=10 --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=50 \
       --direct=1 --norandommap"

  dmsetup message ioband1 0 attach 2
  dmsetup message ioband1 0 attach 3
  dmsetup message ioband1 0 min-bw 2:100
  dmsetup message ioband1 0 max-bw 2:100
  dmsetup message ioband1 0 min-bw 3:200
  dmsetup message ioband1 0 max-bw 3:200

  echo $$ > /cgroup/grp1/tasks
  fio $arg --rw=randread --name=grp1 --filename=/dev/mapper/ioband1 \
          --output=r2-1.log &
  echo $$ > /cgroup/grp2/tasks
  fio $arg --rw=randread --name=grp2 --filename=/dev/mapper/ioband1 \
          --output=r2-2.log &
  wait

Please feel free to ask me if you need more information.

Thanks.

I'm look forward to seeing the results.

Thanks,
