Hi Mike,

Thanks for suggestions....

I think you meant,

echo 1 > /sys/block/sdX/device/delete

I don't see /sys/block/sdX/device/remove in my setup.

How do following FIO options look?

[default]
rw=read
size=4g
bs=1m
ioengine=libaio
direct=1
numjobs=1
filename=/dev/sda
runtime=360
iodepth=256

Thanks for your time!
