Its main purpose is testing other GEOM classes, as it allows forced provider removal and I/O error simulation with a given probability. It also gathers statistics on the number of read, write, delete, getattr, flush, and other requests, and the number of bytes read and written. .Nm can also be used as a good starting point for implementing new GEOM classes. .Pp The first argument to .Nm indicates an action to be performed: .Bl -tag -width ".Cm configure" .It Cm create Set up a transparent provider on the given devices. If the operation succeeds, the new provider should appear with name .Pa /dev/ Ns Ao Ar dev Ac Ns Pa .nop . The kernel module .Pa geom_nop.ko will be loaded if it is not loaded already. .It Cm configure Configure existing transparent provider. At the moment it is only used for changing failure probability. .It Cm destroy Turn off the given transparent providers. .It Cm reset Reset statistics for the given transparent providers. .It Cm list See .Xr geom 8 . .It Cm status See .Xr geom 8 . .It Cm load See .Xr geom 8 . .It Cm unload See .Xr geom 8 . .El .Pp Additional options: .Bl -tag -width "-c count_until_fail" .It Fl c Ar count_until_fail Specifies the number of I/O requests to allow before setting the read, write and delay failure probabilities. .It Fl d Ar delaymsec Specifies the delay of the requests in milliseconds. Note that requests will be delayed before they are sent to the backing device. .It Fl e Ar error Specifies the error number to return on failure. .It Fl f Force the removal of the specified provider. .It Fl o Ar offset Where to begin on the original provider. .It Fl p Ar stripesize Value of the stripesize property of the transparent provider. .It Fl P Ar stripeoffset Value of the stripeoffset property of the transparent provider. .It Fl q Ar rdelayprob Specifies read delay probability in percent. .It Fl r Ar rfailprob Specifies read failure probability in percent. .It Fl s Ar size Size of the transparent provider. .It Fl S Ar secsize Sector size of the transparent provider. .It Fl w Ar wfailprob Specifies write failure probability in percent. .It Fl v Be more verbose. .It Fl x Ar wdelayprob Specifies write delay probability in percent. .It Fl z Ar physpath Physical path of the transparent provider. .It Fl Z Ar gnopname The name of the new provider. The suffix .Dq .nop will be appended to the provider name. .El .Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES The following .Xr sysctl 8 variables can be used to control the behavior of the .Nm NOP GEOM class. The default value is shown next to each variable. .Bl -tag -width indent .It Va kern.geom.nop.debug : No 0 Debug level of the .Nm NOP GEOM class. This can be set to a number between 0 and 2 inclusive. If set to 0, minimal debug information is printed. If set to 1, basic debug information is logged along with the I/O requests that were returned as errors. If set to 2, the maximum amount of debug information is printed including all I/O requests. .El .Sh EXIT STATUS Exit status is 0 on success, and 1 if the command fails. .Sh EXAMPLES The following example shows how to create a transparent provider for disk .Pa /dev/da0 with 50% write failure probability, and how to destroy it. .Bd -literal -offset indent gnop create -v -w 50 da0 gnop destroy -v da0.nop .Ed .Pp The traffic statistics for the given transparent providers can be obtained with the .Cm list command. The example below shows the number of bytes written with .Xr newfs 8 : .Bd -literal -offset indent gnop create da0 newfs /dev/da0.nop gnop list .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr geom 4 , .Xr geom 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm utility appeared in .Fx 5.3 . .Sh AUTHORS .An Pawel Jakub Dawidek Aq Mt pjd@FreeBSD.org
