Zusammenfassung:An amplification number may be input into a storage subsystem interface. A processor in a storage system may receive an original input/output (I/O) request from an application. The processor may determine, in response to the amplification number being input, to duplicate the original I/O request one or more times. The processor may generate one or more duplicate I/O requests of the original I/O request. The processor may store the original I/O request in a general address space in the storage subsystem. The processor may store the one or more duplicate I/O requests in a reserved address space in the storage subsystem. The processor may execute the original I/O request and the one or more duplicate requests.
