Hi Jens,
Awesome.. Thanks for the fix..!
With compress_percentage 80 or more, fio verify is failing. I don't
think there any issue with storage in my test environment. Do you
think we have a bug here. Complete command and output below.
/usr/local/bin/fio --name=global --ioengine=libaio --bsrange=16k-64k
--rw=randrw --iodepth=16 --direct=1 --verify=md5 --name=job0
--size=100m --filename=/fio/fio.dat --rw=randrw --rate=20m
--buffer_compress_percentage=80 --refill_buffers --buffer_pattern=123
--verify_dump=1
You can't do a random read/write test, it'll fail on the reads that have
not been populated. It might sometimes work if the file had been laid
out prior with the right contents, but generally you cannot depend upon
it. You want to do just --rw=randwrite and then the verify phase will
take place after the writes are done, verifying those.
Try and delete fio.dat prior to running this job, and it should fail
consistently with or without buffer_compress_percentage.
I take it back, there is a bug there. Fio does skip verifying the reads
we generate initially, and verifies the written data after the
read/write phase. So it _should_ work, the fact that it doesn't is a
bug. I'll take a look at it.
Fixed, pull and retry please.
