Description
exercise_disk's random test takes six and a half hours to run; it has no progress indication, nor a method for doing a shorter test.
Add a "-loops" parameter to limit the size of the test.
Add a "progress bar" during the test so as to allow an estimated time to completion.
[pwd]>exercise_disk d501 cac -loops 10000 exercise_disk: Device type is d501 pack serial no. is cac exercise_disk: exercise_disk will destroy all data on this pack ! exercise_disk: Do You Wish To Continue? yes exercise_disk: Requesting mount of volume cac. exercise_disk: Begin random test on dskb_01 (d501) @ 1121.1 0%.........10%.........20%.........30%.........40%.........50%.........60%..... \c....70%.........80%.........90%.........100% exercise_disk: Testing Completed for dskb_01 (d501). Test Summary: Number of Sectors Written 5000 Number of Sectors Read 5000
(Strictly speaking, "-loops" is a misnomer here; it actually sets the number of reads and writes, of which there are four for every loop.)
