NFSTEST_DIO(1)nfstest_dio 1.0.1 NFSTEST_DIO(1)NAMEnfstest_dio - Direct I/O tests
SYNOPSISnfstest_dio--server <server> [options]
DESCRIPTION
Functional direct I/O tests verify that every READ/WRITE is sent to the
server instead of the client caching the requests. Client bypasses read
ahead by sending the READ with only the requested bytes. Verify the
client correctly handles eof marker when reading the whole file. Verify
client ignores delegation while writing a file.
Direct I/O on pNFS tests verify the client sends the READ/WRITE to the
correct DS or the MDS if using a PAGESIZE aligned buffer or not,
respectively.
Direct I/O data correctness tests verify that a file written with
buffered I/O is read correctly with direct I/O. Verify that a file
written with direct I/O is read correctly with buffered I/O.
Vectored I/O tests verify coalescence of multiple vectors into one
READ/WRITE packet when all vectors are PAGESIZE aligned. Vectors with
different alignments are sent on separate packets.
Valid for NFSv4.0 and NFSv4.1 including pNFS.

TESTS
eof
Verify eof marker is handled correctly when reading the end of the
file.
correctness
Verify data correctness when reading/writing using direct I/O. File
created with buffered I/O is read correctly with direct I/O. File cre‐
ated with direct I/O is read correctly with buffered I/O.
fstat
Verify fstat() gets correct file size after writing.
read
Verify READ is sent after writing when the file is open for both read
and write.
read_ahead
Verify READ is sent with only the requested bytes bypassing read ahead.
basic
Verify a packet is sent for each I/O request.
rsize
Verify multiple READ packets are sent for each read request having
request size > rsize.
wsize
Verify multiple WRITE packets are sent for each write request having
request size > wsize
aligned
Verify packet is sent to correct DS server when using a memory which is
PAGESIZE aligned.
nonaligned
Verify packet is sent to the MDS when using a memory which is not PAGE‐
SIZE aligned.
diffalign
Verify packets are sent to both the MDS and correct DS on same open
using buffers with different alignments.
stripesize
Verify multiple packets are sent for each request having the request
size greater than stripe size.
vectored_io
Verify vectored I/O functionality.
EXAMPLES
The only required option is --server
$ nfstest_dio--server 192.168.0.11
NOTES
The user id in the local host must have access to run commands as root
using the 'sudo' command without the need for a password.
