+FIO
+===
+
+Ceph uses the fio workload generator and benchmarking utility.
+
+To fetch the fio sources:
+
+ git clone git://git.kernel.dk/fio.git
+
+To build fio:
+
+ ./configure
+ make
+
+RBD
+---
+
+The fio engine for rbd is located in the fio tree itself, so you'll need to
+build it from source.
+
+If you install the ceph libraries to a location that isn't in your
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH, be sure to add it:
+
+ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/install/lib
+
+To build fio with rbd:
+
+ ./configure --extra-cflags="-I/path/to/install/include -L/path/to/install/lib"
+ make
+
+If configure fails with "Rados Block Device engine no", see config.log for
+details and adjust the cflags as necessary.
+
+To view the fio options specific to the rbd engine:
+
+ ./fio --enghelp=rbd
+
+See examples/rbd.fio for an example job file. To run:
+
+ ./fio examples/rbd.fio
+
+ObjectStore
+-----------
+
+This fio engine allows you to mount and use a ceph object store directly,
+without having to build a ceph cluster or start any daemons.
+
+Because the ObjectStore is not a public-facing interface, we build it inside
+of the ceph tree and load libfio_ceph_objectstore.so into fio as an external
+engine.
+
+To build fio_ceph_objectstore:
+```
+ mkdir build && cd build
+ cmake -DWITH_FIO=ON -DFIO_INCLUDE_DIR=/path/to/fio -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release /path/to/ceph
+ make -C src/test/fio install
+```
+If you install the ceph libraries to a location that isn't in your
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH, be sure to add it:
+
+ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/install/lib
+
+To view the fio options specific to the objectstore engine:
+
+ ./fio --enghelp=libfio_ceph_objectstore.so
+
+The conf= option requires a ceph configuration file (ceph.conf). Example job
+and conf files for each object store are provided in the same directory as
+this README.
+
+To run:
+
+ ./fio /path/to/job.fio
