+continue_on_error=bool Normally fio will exit the job on the first observed
+ failure. If this option is set, fio will continue the job when
+ there is a 'non-fatal error' (EIO or EILSEQ) until the runtime
+ is exceeded or the I/O size specified is completed. If this
+ option is used, there are two more stats that are appended,
+ the total error count and the first error. The error field
+ given in the stats is the first error that was hit during the
+ run.
