#!/bin/sh # The blocktest driver expects the following parameters: # # device Path to the device node to perform the test on. This may be a # full disk, a partition, or a subpartition. If possible, give # blocktest the whole disk; otherwise preferably the first # partition with a size of slightly over 8GB (for ATA) (better # yet: slightly over 128GB); even fewer tests can be done if you # give it only a subpartition. # rw (or) ro Specifying "rw" will let blocktest write to the target # partition. This allows for a lot more tests, but keep in mind # that any data on the partition (and, if the driver misbehaves, # on other partitions and possibly other disks) WILL BE DESTROYED. # Use "ro" for read-only mediums, such as CD-ROMs. # sector Sector size, in bytes. This should be 512 for ATA devices, and # 2048 for ATAPI devices. # min_read Minimum size of a read request. This must be at least 2 and at # most the sector size, and the sector size must be divisible by # it. A value other than the sector size allows blocktest to test # sub-sector reads. Sub-sector writes are currently not supported # by any driver and hence not by blocktest, so there is no # matching "min_write" (yet). # element Minimum size of a vector element within a larger I/O request. # This must be at least 2 and at most min_read, and min_read must # be divisible by this value. The idea is that several small # elements may add up to the minimum read size. # max Maximum size of any request. This should be a multiple of the # sector size. Blocktest will not test what happens when this # value is exceeded, but it will generate large requests up to # this value. For drivers that do not have a maximum request size, # simply use some large value (typically several megabytes). # The following are examples of how to configure blocktest for certain driver # and device pairs. Before commenting out any entry, you MUST edit the "device" # option for that entry, or you WILL risk losing arbitrary data. You may run # multiple tests in parallel (on different devices), but you will then have to # give them different labels. Note that at_wini has no maximum request size, so # an arbitray size is used. Finally, a disclaimer: a buggy device driver may # destroy any data it has access to, so use at your own risk. # AT_WINI ATA TEST (for IDE disk devices) #service up `pwd`/blocktest -script /etc/rs.single -args "device=/dev/c0d1,rw,sector=512,min_read=512,element=2,max=16777216" -config system.conf -label blocktest_0 # AT_WINI ATAPI TEST (for IDE CD-ROM devices) #service up `pwd`/blocktest -script /etc/rs.single -args "device=/dev/c0d2,ro,sector=2048,min_read=2,element=2,max=16777216" -config system.conf -label blocktest_0 # AHCI ATA TEST (for SATA disk devices) #service up `pwd`/blocktest -script /etc/rs.single -args "device=/dev/c2d0,rw,sector=512,min_read=2,element=2,max=4194304" -config system.conf -label blocktest_0 # AHCI ATAPI TEST (for SATA CD-ROM devices) #service up `pwd`/blocktest -script /etc/rs.single -args "device=/dev/c2d1,ro,sector=2048,min_read=2,element=2,max=4194304" -config system.conf -label blocktest_0
