A Note from current open-iscsi maintainer Lee Duncan:
README.orig:
This is the old README for the "test" subdirectory, directed
at being able to use the "regressioin..sh" shell script. But
I no longer maintain the shell script, much preferring the
python unittest package. Please see the new README file
for how to use that package. (2/2022)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the original test/README:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This directory contains regression suite.
I would appreciate if developer will run it at least once after
modifications done before commit or mailing list submit.
./regression.sh script expects next binaries and data files exists
in current directory:
- regression.dat
- iscsiadm
- bonnie++ (source: http://www.open-iscsi.org/bits/bonnie++.tar.gz)
- disktest (source: http://www.open-iscsi.org/bits/disktest.tar.gz)
Thanks!
Dmitry
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call:
> # ./regression.sh -f/--format <device>
to run "mkfs" on the device and exit, or
> # ./regression.sh <targetname> <ipnumber#> <device> [test#[:#]] [bsize]
Where:
<targetname> ?
<ipnumber#> ?
<device> the device on which to test (e.g. /dev/sd?)
test#[:#] test(s) to run, i.e. single or range (default: all)
bsize disktest block size (default: a range of 10 sizes)
special value "bonnie" => skip disktest
And env var "SKIP_WARNING" skips a big warning about writing on the device?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is that these tests have not been run for a while, and,
additionally, disktest seems to be extinct and unfindable.
I plan to get these tests working, and consider these the steps I plan
to take:
* understand the current tests
- particularly, what disktest and bonnie++ are doing
* try to replace disktest and/or bonnie++, if needed
- there are a lot of good disk test packages these days
* replace the shell code with PyTest code, to make it
easier to use
Lee Duncan -- 2/13/2020
Analysis of disktest usage:
options used: fio option for this?
======================================= ==================================
--name=test (or whatever)
-T2 -- run 2 seconds --runtime=2
-K8 -- run with 8 threads --numjobs=8
-B<bs> -- set block xfer size --blocksize=<bs> (default 4k?)
-ID -- use direct IO --direct=1
<dev> -- use device --filename=<dev>
in read mode:
-r -- read mode --readwrite=randread
in write mode:
-w -- write mode --readwrite=randwrite
-E 16 -- compare 16 bytes --verify=md5? (lots of options)
It looks like the "fio" program may address these needs?
e.g. running
with file "test.fio":
> [test]
> rw=randread
> bs=8k
> filename=/dev/sdb
> direct=1
> numjobs=4
> runtime=60s
run:
> # fio test.fio
The output is interactive? But results are ridiculously verbose,
but include a nice summary line or two that could be used as a
go/no-go?
