Please acknowledge the following before creating a ticket

• I have read the GitHub issues section of REPORTING-BUGS.

Description of the bug:

It seems that the norandommap parameter of fio affects the consistency check result.

Environment:
[root@localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 5.10.0-60.18.0.50.r1064_49.hce2.aarch64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 28 08:26:19 UTC 2023 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

fio version:
fio-3.29,

Reproduction steps

1、without norandommap ，fio task success
fio --name=ssd --numjobs=1 --filename=/home/test.io --bs=1m --iodepth=256 --rw=randrw -rwmixread=50 --ioengine=libaio --direct=1 --sync=0 --group_reporting --runtime=100 --time_based --do_verify=1 --verify=md5 --size=10G
2、with norandommap， fio fail

Please try fio 3.37 and simplify your job to include the minimal options that produce the issue.

I ‘ve already tried the latest version,and it has the same problem.

When the norandommap parameter is used, some blocks on the SSD may be read and written multiple times. It seems that the problem lies in this problem. If the norandommap parameter is not used, the fio obtains only the new offset, and the blocks will not be written/read for many times.

You can't use norandommap with verify. I think fio allows it for fixed block sizes, but it's not sane if you're tracking generations of writes.

@axboe ok，thank you.Do you consider supporting norandommap with verify in the future?
