NAME
tiotest - Threaded I/O bench SYNOPSIS
tiotest [-h] [-W] [-f SizeInMB] [-d TestDir] [-b BlkSizeInBytes] [-r NumberRandOpsPerThread] [-t NumberOfThreads] [-T] [-c] [-L] [-S] [-R] [-D DebugLevel] [-k SkipTestNoN] DESCRIPTION
tiotest is a file system benchmark especially designed to test I/O performance with multiple running threads. OPTIONS
-h Display a brief help and exit. -W Instructs tiotest to wait for previous thread to finish before starting a new one in the writing phase. This results in the files to be sequentially allocated and thus prevents them to be fragmented. Of course the writeside test is not parallel then but in readside the files are physically more sequentially placed on the media (well this depends on the filesystem too). -f SizeInMB The filesize per threat in MBytes. Defaults to 10 MB. -d TestDir The directory in which to test. Defaults to ., the current directory. -b BlkSizeInBytes The blocksize in Bytes to use. Defaults to 4096. -r NumberRandOpsPerThread Random I/O operations per thread. Defaults to 1000. -t NumberOfThreads The number of concurrent test threads. Defaults to 4. -T More terse output. -c Consistency check data. This should be used for stresstesting the media rather than benchmarking (it will slow io and raise cpu percentage). It is especially usefull to seek media for very hard to detect errors. -L Hide latency output. -S Do writing synchronously. -R Use raw drives. -D DebugLevel Set the debug level. -k fISkipTestNoN Skip test number n. Could be used several times. Example: while tiotest -c -f 2000 ; do echo run ok ; done To get usefull results the used file sizes should be a lot larger than the physical amount of memory you have. A good idea is to boot with 16 Megs of RAM (Try passing the "mem=16M" option to the kernel to limit Linux to using a very small amount of memory) and into Single User mode only. SEE ALSO

App::Prove::State(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				      App::Prove::State(3)

NAME
App::Prove::State - State storage for the "prove" command. VERSION
Version 3.28 DESCRIPTION
The "prove" command supports a "--state" option that instructs it to store persistent state across runs. This module implements that state and the operations that may be performed on it. SYNOPSIS
# Re-run failed tests $ prove --state=failed,save -rbv METHODS
Class Methods "new" Accepts a hashref with the following key/value pairs: o "store" The filename of the data store holding the data that App::Prove::State reads. o "extensions" (optional) The test name extensions. Defaults to ".t". o "result_class" (optional) The name of the "result_class". Defaults to "App::Prove::State::Result". "result_class" Getter/setter for the name of the class used for tracking test results. This class should either subclass from "App::Prove::State::Result" or provide an identical interface. "extensions" Get or set the list of extensions that files must have in order to be considered tests. Defaults to ['.t']. "results" Get the results of the last test run. Returns a "result_class()" instance. "commit" Save the test results. Should be called after all tests have run. Instance Methods "apply_switch" $self->apply_switch('failed,save'); Apply a list of switch options to the state, updating the internal object state as a result. Nothing is returned. Diagnostics: - "Illegal state option: %s" "last" Run in the same order as last time "failed" Run only the failed tests from last time "passed" Run only the passed tests from last time "all" Run all tests in normal order "hot" Run the tests that most recently failed first "todo" Run the tests ordered by number of todos. "slow" Run the tests in slowest to fastest order. "fast" Run test tests in fastest to slowest order. "new" Run the tests in newest to oldest order. "old" Run the tests in oldest to newest order. "save" Save the state on exit. "get_tests" Given a list of args get the names of tests that should run "observe_test" Store the results of a test. "save" Write the state to a file. "load" Load the state from a file perl v5.16.3 2013-05-02 App::Prove::State(3)
