Thank you for taking time to reply. It looks like you are right.

At https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/Tuab~zsBF6DDSfpR-ViENA there's an
output from the following:

for device in {0..10}; do echo -e "----- DEVICE $device -----\n";
./john --verbosity=5 --list=opencl-devices --device=$device; done

It looks like device 0 is CPU, device 1 is glitch in the Matrix :), devices
2-9 are 8 Nvidia GPUs and device 10 is built-in/on-board GPU.
I guess running john with --devices=2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 option should result in
work being distributed among all 8 GPUs.
How can I check if it's really the case?
I have all GPUs mining and when I run john with --devices=2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
option I see only the first GPU has lower hashrate which I take to mean john
is running only on it and not on any other GPU.
