Subject: [PATCH OSSTEST] Allow longer timeout when creating backing file for a raw disk.
Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2016 12:23:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1452860638-1845-1-git-send-email-ian.campbell@citrix.com> (raw)
I noticed this dd timiung out when recommissioning the 3 cubietrucks
(picasso, metzinger, gleizes) but looking at the log shows this has
been happening on braque too.
The current code assumes 65MB/s arriving at a timeout of 153s for the
10G file. On arndale-* the logs indicate that it is achieving 95MB/s
and taking 105-107s which results in a warning but not a failure:
execution took 105 seconds [**>153.846153846154/2**]
In experiments on a local cubietruck I observed it achieving a much
lower throughput of 40MB/s, which seems to be consistent with what
others are seeing:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/cubieboard/troubleshooting/7R4HlCDNCTU
Therefore calculate the timeout assuming a throughput of 20MB/s, in
practice for a 10GB file this will result in a 500s timeout.
