Hi, I am trying data integration cases with verify_pattern option. I am not seeing any dump file generated for the mismatch. Here are the steps i followed, Started fio and waited till 30 % writes done the disk and issued a dd write on the same disc for the first 512 bytes with pattern zero. then waited till verify gets completed. I can see the error's in the output log file but not the dump file. Here is my job file. [global] size=10g direct=1 filename=/dev/sdc verify_pattern=0x01010101 verify=meta bs=64k group_reporting [write-phase] rw=write do_verify=0 [verify-phase] stonewall rw=read do_verify=1 continue_on_error=all verify_dump=1 ~ Let me know if i am missing something over here. Here is my log file for the verify part, verify-phase: (groupid=1, jobs=1): err=84 (): pid=9598 read : io=10240MB, bw=109548KB/s, iops=1711 , runt= 95718msec clat (usec): min=443 , max=10326 , avg=487.46, stdev=45.87 lat (usec): min=443 , max=10326 , avg=487.67, stdev=45.87 clat percentiles (usec): | 1.00th=[ 454], 5.00th=[ 458], 10.00th=[ 462], 20.00th=[ 474], | 30.00th=[ 474], 40.00th=[ 478], 50.00th=[ 478], 60.00th=[ 482], | 70.00th=[ 486], 80.00th=[ 490], 90.00th=[ 510], 95.00th=[ 532], | 99.00th=[ 716], 99.50th=[ 740], 99.90th=[ 764], 99.95th=[ 780], | 99.99th=[ 884] bw (KB/s) : min=105216, max=111360, per=100.00%, avg=109611.56, stdev=1711.54 lat (usec) : 500=84.32%, 750=15.45%, 1000=0.23% lat (msec) : 2=0.01%, 20=0.01% cpu : usr=16.72%, sys=2.69%, ctx=172103, majf=0, minf=66 IO depths : 1=100.0%, 2=0.0%, 4=0.0%, 8=0.0%, 16=0.0%, 32=0.0%, >=64=0.0% submit : 0=0.0%, 4=100.0%, 8=0.0%, 16=0.0%, 32=0.0%, 64=0.0%, >=64=0.0% complete : 0=0.0%, 4=100.0%, 8=0.0%, 16=0.0%, 32=0.0%, 64=0.0%, >=64=0.0% issued : total=r=163840/w=0/d=0, short=r=0/w=0/d=0 errors : total=1, first_error=84/<Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character> Run status group 0 (all jobs): WRITE: io=10240MB, aggrb=101239KB/s, minb=103669KB/s, maxb=103669KB/s, mint=103574msec, maxt=103574msec Run status group 1 (all jobs): READ: io=10240MB, aggrb=109548KB/s, minb=112177KB/s, maxb=112177KB/s, mint=95718msec, maxt=95718msec Disk stats (read/write): sdc: ios=163444/163841, merge=0/0, ticks=75357/92314, in_queue=167479, util=84.01% ~ 2)Also i have one query like verify_pattern option is it possible to provide known pattern for write and reads this will be very useful in DI verification test cases Thanks, Suresh.D -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe fio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
