stressdisk

This was written a few weeks ago and I just noticed today that it had not been published.

Following on from I bought a new nvme drive – or did I?, I ran stressdisk on it.

[dvl@test ~]$ sudo gpart add -a 4k -t freebsd-zfs nvd0
nvd0p1 added

[dvl@test ~]$ gpart show nvd0
=>       34  500118125  nvd0  GPT  (238G)

  500118152          7        - free -  (3.5K)

[dvl@test ~]$ 

[dvl@test ~]$ sudo zpool create nvd0 /dev/nvd0p1 

[dvl@test ~]$ zpool status nvd0

[dvl@test ~]$ 


[dvl@test ~]$ zfs list -r nvd0

[dvl@test ~]$ 

Let’s stressdisk:

[dvl@test ~]$ sudo chown dvl:dvl /nvd0
[dvl@test ~]$ stressdisk -
2021/08/09 14:07:06 statsfile "stressdisk_stats.json" does not exist -- will create
stressdisk - a disk soak testing utility - development version

Automatic usage:
  stressdisk run directory            - auto fill the directory up and soak test it
  stressdisk cycle directory          - fill, test, delete, repeat - torture for flash
  stressdisk clean directory          - delete the check files from the directory

Manual usage:
  stressdisk help                       - this help
  stressdisk [ -s size ] write filename - write a check file
  stressdisk read filename              - read the check file back
  stressdisk reads filename             - ... repeatedly for duration set
  stressdisk check filename1 filename2  - compare two check files
  stressdisk checks filename1 filename2 - ... repeatedly for duration set

Full options:
  -cpuprofile string
    	Write cpu profile to file
  -duration duration
    	Duration to run test (default 24h0m0s)
  -logfile string
    	File to write log to set to empty to ignore (default "stressdisk.log")
  -maxerrors uint
    	Max number of errors to print per file (default 64)
  -nodirect
    	Don't use O_DIRECT
  -s int
    	Size of the check files (default 1000000000)
  -stats duration
    	Interval to print stats (default 1m0s)
  -statsfile string
    	File to load/store statistics data (default "stressdisk_stats.json")
Command "-" not understood
[dvl@test ~]$ 

Let’s try this out:

[dvl@test ~]$ stressdisk run /nvd0/
