-3. Create the bench files manually in your bucket. The size of the files must be exactly the same as the size defined in fio configuration files. The easiest way to do this is running fio against your local file system first to let fio create the files for you, and then upload them to your S3 bucket using the AWS CLI. For example:
-
-        fio --directory=your_local_dir --filename=your_file_name mountpoint-s3/scripts/fio/read/seq_read_small.fio
-        aws s3 cp your_local_dir/your_file_name s3://${S3_BUCKET_NAME}/${S3_BUCKET_TEST_PREFIX}
+3. Create the bench files manually in your S3 bucket. You can do that by mounting the bucket on your machine using Mountpoint. Then, running fio jobs against your mount directory to let fio create the files for you.
