xNVMe	√	O	O	√
raw	X	X	X	X

• √: Support IO path and data directive
• O: Support IO path only, not data directive
• X: Not support IO path and data directive

./db_bench --benchmarks=<IO pattern> --fs_uri=torfs:<backend>:<dev>?be=<IO path>
e.g.
./db_bench --benchmarks=fillseq --fs_uri=torfs:xnvme:/dev/ng0n1?be=io_uring_cmd
