I hacked an existing XFS test prog to do manual testing of the fallocate() syscall. In the XFSQA suite we have various pre-alloc enhanced utils (e.g. fsstress, fsx, etc) that we should probably update to be able to use both fallocate and xfsctl so we can test both. Here's all the programs we use that have preallocation awareness: chook 982% grep RESVSP ltp/*.c | awk '/^ltp/ { split($1,a,":"); print a[1] ;}' | uniq ltp/doio.c ltp/fsstress.c ltp/fsx.c ltp/growfiles.c ltp/iogen.c chook 983% grep RESVSP src/* | awk '/^src/ { split($1,a,":"); print a[1] ;}' | uniq src/alloc.c src/fstest.c src/iopat.c src/randholes.c src/resvtest.c src/unwritten_mmap.c src/unwritten_sync.c BTW, have you guys tested mmap writes into unwritten extents? ;) Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner Principal Engineer SGI Australian Software Group - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
