fio verify and short writes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I've run into a verify issue with fio in xfstest generic/300 [*]:

* The aio-dio-verifier thread in that test case writes 4k buffers and
then reads them back in.
* The filesystem has a block size if 1k.
* The test case is designed to run the filesystem out of space. When
that happens, some writes can end up short before they all fail with
-ENOSPC. (That doesn't seem to happen on ext4 or xfs filesystems with
a 1k block size --- possibly just because the test always runs on a
scratch filesystem --- but it does trigger on gfs2.)
* When the aio-dio-verifier thread reads a short 4k buffer back in,
part of the buffer will be zero-filled, so verification will fail.

This is with a current fio and kernel.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Andreas
