What license > did it originally have? Well, the script itself is a part of Gensuit (generic test suit) which I was working on and the script was already there so I assumed that it is GPL. But when you have mentioned it, I really do not know what the licence was. I have manage to find the source of it: http://www.1u-raid5.net/Testing/raid_test_stress.sh.txt So I'll try to contact the author to confirm licence. I certainly can write this myself, but I guess there is no point in that since this is working well (We'll see about the licence). > > + > > + while true ; do > > + step=1048576 > > + start=0 > > + $here/src/fstrim $SCRATCH_MNT & > > + fpid=$! > > + wait $fpid > > Why put it in the background, only to wait for it immediately? Because trimming the whole device can take a while and when the test is going to end I really need to wait for it to finish before the test exits. And simply waiting for the process running this loop is not enough, because in some cases I could not umount the disk due to fstrim. > > > + while [ $start -lt $fsize ] ; do > > + $here/src/fstrim -s ${start}k -l ${step}k $SCRATCH_MNT & > > + fpid=$! > > + wait $fpid > > Ditto - why the background and wait? same here. > > > + start=$(( $start + $step )) > > + done > > + sleep 1 > > + done > > +} > > + > > +function run_process() { > > + local p=$1 > > + repeat=10 > > + > > + # Wait for all processes to start up. > > + if [ "$stagger" = "yes" ]; then > > + sleep $((10*$p)) & > > + export chpid=$! && wait $chpid &> /dev/null > > + chpid=0 > > + else > > + sleep 10 & > > + export chpid=$! && wait $chpid &> /dev/null > > + chpid=0 > > + fi > > why bother with $stagger when itis only ever defined to "yes"? sorry, there are some thing from the original script which I have missed.

Well, there is no "typical" since SSD's tend to behave quite differently from vendor to vendor, but in my test it took at least 15 minutes. > > +# Check for FITRIM support > > +echo -n "Checking FITRIM support: " > > +$here/src/fstrim -l 1G $SCRATCH_MNT > > +[ $? -ne 0 ] && exit > > +echo "done." > > This should be a `_notrun "FITRIM not supported"` so the test > doesn't actually count as a failure if the fs does not support > FITRIM. Good point. Thanks for review Dave, I'll resend it as soon as I get the licence confirmed. -Lukas _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
