.SH NAME
\fBraidz_test\fR \- raidz implementation verification and benchmarking tool
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.BI "raidz_test <options>"
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
This manual page documents briefly the \fBraidz_test\fR command.
.LP
Purpose of this tool is to run all supported raidz implementation and verify
results of all methods. Tool also contains a parameter sweep option where all
parameters affecting RAIDZ block are verified (like ashift size, data offset,
data size, etc...).
The tool also supports a benchmarking mode using -B option.
.SH OPTION
.HP
.BI "\-h" ""
.IP
Print a help summary.
.HP
.BI "\-a" " ashift (default: 9)"
.IP
Ashift value.
.HP
.BI "\-o" " zio_off_shift" " (default: 0)"
.IP
Zio offset for raidz block. Offset value is 1 << (zio_off_shift)
.HP
.BI "\-d" " raidz_data_disks" " (default: 8)"
.IP
Number of raidz data disks to use. Additional disks for parity will be used
during testing.
.HP
.BI "\-s" " zio_size_shift" " (default: 19)"
.IP
Size of data for raidz block. Size is 1 << (zio_size_shift).
.HP
.BI "\-S(weep)"
.IP
Sweep parameter space while verifying the raidz implementations. This option
will exhaust all most of valid values for -a -o -d -s options. Runtime using
this option will be long.
.HP
.BI "\-t(imeout)"
.IP
Wall time for sweep test in seconds. The actual runtime could be longer.
.HP
.BI "\-B(enchmark)"
.IP
This options starts the benchmark mode. All implementations are benchmarked
using increasing per disk data size. Results are given as throughput per disk,
measured in MiB/s.
.HP
.BI "\-v(erbose)"
.IP
Increase verbosity.
.HP
.BI "\-T(est the test)"
.IP
Debugging option. When this option is specified tool is supposed to fail
all tests. This is to check if tests would properly verify bit-exactness.
.HP
.BI "\-D(ebug)"
.IP
Debugging option. Specify to attach gdb when SIGSEGV or SIGABRT are received.
.HP
