Hi, I would like to provide fio packages for Solaris 10 (via opencsw.org). Building 1.44.2 worked fine, but when running fio with direct=1, it fails with an ioctl error. Is this to be expected? # uname -a SunOS ray42 5.10 Generic_141415-04 i86pc i386 i86pc # fio --version fio 1.44.2 # fio --name=test --size=1g --rw=write --filename=foo --runtime=60 --direct=1 test: (g=0): rw=write, bs=4K-4K/4K-4K, ioengine=sync, iodepth=1 Starting 1 process test: Laying out IO file(s) (1 file(s) / 1024MB) fio: pid=2476, err=25/file:ioengines.c:404, func=fio_set_odirect, error=Inappropriate ioctl for device # truss -ftopen,ioctl fio --name=test --size=1g --rw=write --filename=foo --runtime=60 --direct=1 ... 2472: ioctl(1, TCGETA, 0x08045814) = 0 test: (g=0): rw=write, bs=4K-4K/4K-4K, ioengine=sync, iodepth=1 2472: open64("/tmp/.fio_mutex.psaa1e", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) = 8 2472: open64("/tmp/.fio_mutex.qsaa1e", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) = 9 Starting 1 process test: Laying out IO file(s) (1 file(s) / 1024MB) 2472: open64("foo", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT, 0644) = 10 2473: open64("foo", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0600) = 7 2473: ioctl(7, _ION('f', 76, 0), 0x00000001) Err#25 ENOTTY fio: pid=2473, err=25/file:ioengines.c:404, func=fio_set_odirect, error=Inappropriate ioctl for device On a related note: do you guys have access to Solaris systems? If not, we do happily provide access to our build farm (Solaris 8/9/10, x86/SPARC, equipped with gcc3/4 and Sun Studio 11/12) for upstream mainainers [1]. So just let me know, if this sounds beneficial to you.
