Can I use SPDK perf under exmaples to benchmark multiple SSDs ?

Oza.

Ok thanks a lot Harris.

One last question:

Since SPDK doesn’t have multithread/multiple process support.

I try following.
Run couple of instance of fio on multiple disk in background.

But one of the fio_plugin process crashes saying:
No free hugepages reported
rte_panic("Cannot get hugepage information\n");

I do increase number of hugepages in kernel /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepage
interface before running fio plugin.

Regards,
Oza.

Currently the SPDK fio plugin only supports a single thread.  One of the
engineers here at Intel is actively working on multi-thread support.

Yes - this is normal.  These probe messages from DPDK are a bit misleading -
we are looking at modifying these to reduce confusion.

—thread implements each job as a thread (using pthread_create) instead of a
separate process.
