mdtest(1) mdtest mdtest(1) NAME mdtest - test file system metadata performance SYNOPSIS mdtest [-options] DESCRIPTION mdtest is a file system metadata performance test designed to run in a cluster MPI environment against parallel file systems. In each iteration of the test, each MPI task creates, stats, and removes the specified number of directories and/or files and measures the perfor- mance in ops/second. After all the iterations complete, the maximum, mini- mum, mean ops/sec and the std. deviation are reported for each operation. OPTIONS -b branching_factor The branching factor of the hierarchical directory structure [de- fault: 1]. -B No barriers will be taken between the phases (create/stat/remove) of the tests. -c Use ``collective creates'', meaning task 0 does all the creates. -C Only perform the create phase of the tests. -d testdir[@testdir2] The directory in which the tests will run. For multiple pathes, must use fully-qualified pathnames. [default: working directory of mdtest]. -D Perform test on directories only (no files). -e bytes Set the number of Bytes to read from each file [default: 0]. -E Only perform the read phase of the tests. -f first The first number of tasks on which the test will run [default: 0]. -F Perform test on files only (no directories). -h Display help message. -i iterations The number of iterations the test will run [default: 1]. -I items_per_directory The number of items per directory in the tree [default: 0]. -l last The last number of tasks on which the test will run [default: 0]. -L Files/directories only created at the leaf level of the tree. -n number_of_items Every process will creat/stat/remove # directories and files [de- fault: 0]. -N stride Stride # between neighbor tasks for file/dir stat, 0 = local [de- fault: 0]. -p seconds Pre-iteration delay (in seconds). -r Only perform the remove phase of the tests. -R[seed] Randomly stat files. There is an optional argument that provides a seed to the random number generator. (Note: There is no space be- tween the -R and the seed if one is provided.) -s stride Stride between the number of tasks for each test [default: 1]. -S Shared file access (file only, no directories). -t Include unique working directory management overhead in the results (presumes -u option). -T Only perform the stat phase of the tests. -u Create a unique working directory for each task (presumes -d op- tion). -v Increase verbosity (each instance of option increments by one). -V value Set verbosity value [default: 0]. -w bytes Set the number of Bytes to write to each file after it is created [default: 0]. -z tree_depth The depth of the hierarchical directory tree [default: 0].
