70.Sh DESCRIPTION
71The
72.Nm
73utility is used for setting up transparent providers on existing ones.
74Its main purpose is testing other GEOM classes, as it allows forced provider
75removal and I/O error simulation with a given probability.
76It also gathers statistics on the number of read, write, delete,
77getattr, flush, and other requests, and the number of bytes read and written.
78.Nm
79can also be used as a good starting point for implementing new GEOM
80classes.
81.Pp
82The first argument to
83.Nm
84indicates an action to be performed:
85.Bl -tag -width ".Cm configure"
86.It Cm create
87Set up a transparent provider on the given devices.
88If the operation succeeds, the new provider should appear with name
89.Pa /dev/ Ns Ao Ar dev Ac Ns Pa .nop .
90The kernel module
91.Pa geom_nop.ko
92will be loaded if it is not loaded already.
93.It Cm configure
94Configure existing transparent provider.
95At the moment it is only used for changing failure probability.
96.It Cm destroy
97Turn off the given transparent providers.
98.It Cm reset
99Reset statistics for the given transparent providers.
100.It Cm list
101See
102.Xr geom 8 .
103.It Cm status
104See
105.Xr geom 8 .
106.It Cm load
107See
108.Xr geom 8 .
109.It Cm unload
110See
111.Xr geom 8 .
112.El
113.Pp
114Additional options:
115.Bl -tag -width ".Fl r Ar rfailprob"
116.It Fl e Ar error
117Specifies the error number to return on failure.
118.It Fl f
119Force the removal of the specified provider.
120.It Fl o Ar offset
121Where to begin on the original provider.
122.It Fl p Ar stripesize
123Value of the stripesize property of the transparent provider.
124.It Fl P Ar stripeoffset
125Value of the stripeoffset property of the transparent provider.
126.It Fl r Ar rfailprob
127Specifies read failure probability in percent.
128.It Fl s Ar size
129Size of the transparent provider.
130.It Fl S Ar secsize
131Sector size of the transparent provider.
132.It Fl w Ar wfailprob
133Specifies write failure probability in percent.
134.It Fl v
135Be more verbose.
136.It Fl z Ar physpath
137Physical path of the transparent provider.
138.El
139.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
140The following
141.Xr sysctl 8
142variables can be used to control the behavior of the
143.Nm NOP
144GEOM class.
145The default value is shown next to each variable.
146.Bl -tag -width indent
147.It Va kern.geom.nop.debug : No 0
148Debug level of the
149.Nm NOP
150GEOM class.
151This can be set to a number between 0 and 2 inclusive.
152If set to 0, minimal debug information is printed.
153If set to 1, basic debug information is logged along with the I/O requests
154that were returned as errors.
155If set to 2, the maximum amount of debug information is printed including
156all I/O requests.
157.El
158.Sh EXIT STATUS
159Exit status is 0 on success, and 1 if the command fails.
160.Sh EXAMPLES
161The following example shows how to create a transparent provider for disk
162.Pa /dev/da0
163with 50% write failure probability, and how to destroy it.
164.Bd -literal -offset indent
165gnop create -v -w 50 da0
166gnop destroy -v da0.nop
167.Ed
168.Pp
169The traffic statistics for the given transparent providers can be obtained
170with the
171.Cm list
172command.
173The example below shows the number of bytes written with
174.Xr newfs 8 :
175.Bd -literal -offset indent
176gnop create da0
177newfs /dev/da0.nop
