Hi All: I met a problem while testing the ramdisk peformance using fio. The platform is arm64 , fio version is 2.1.10. The ramdisk is enabled on my platform , so there are dev/ram0 ...to dev/ram15 totall 16 ramdisk devices. I tried to test these ramdisks performance uisng the script file list as below. #!/bin/bash #disk_list=`lsscsi | awk '{print $NF}' | cut -d/ -f3` disk_list="ram1 ram2 ram3 ram4 ram5 ram6 ram7 ram8 ram9 ram10 ram11 ram12 ram13 ram14 ram15" numjobs=1 runtime=180 run_18disk_test() { logdir=/root/18disk_performance_test rm -rf $logdir mkdir $logdir for rw in read write randread randwrite do for bs in 4K 1M do for iodepth in 1 2 4 8 16 32 do for disk in `echo $disk_list` do iodepth_2=`printf "%02d" $iodepth` fio --time_based --filename=/dev/$disk --rw=$rw --bs=$bs --ioengine=libaio --direct=1 --numjobs=$numjobs --iodepth=$iodepth --name=test --group_reporting --runtime=$runtime &> $logdir/${disk}_${bs}_${rw}_numjobs${numjobs}_iodepth${iodepth_2}.log & done sleep $runtime done done done } But the test result is not ok. The error log is: test: (g=0): rw=write, bs=4K-4K/4K-4K/4K-4K, ioengine=libaio, iodepth=1 fio-2.1.14 Starting 1 process fio: cache invalidation of /dev/ram2 failed: Device or resource busy fio: cache invalidation of /dev/ram2 failed: Device or resource busy fio: cache invalidation of /dev/ram2 failed: Device or resource busy fio: cache invalidation of /dev/ram2 failed: Device or resource busy fio: cache invalidation of /dev/ram2 failed: Device or resource busy fio: cache invalidation of /dev/ram2 failed: Device or resource busy fio: cache invalidation of /dev/ram2 failed: Device or resource busy fio: cache invalidation of /dev/ram2 failed: Device or resource busy -- 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
