Sol10 and compress-pbzip2

[toguro123]

Hi Guys

This is what I'm trying to run:
phoronix-test-suite benchmark compress-pbzip2

and everything seems to work fine since:
Parallel BZIP2 Compression 1.1.12:
pts/compress-pbzip2-1.5.0
Test 1 of 1
Estimated Trial Run Count: 3
Estimated Time To Completion: 4 Minutes (15:02 CDT)
Started Run 1 @ 14:59:09
Started Run 2 @ 14:59:30
Started Run 3 @ 14:59:51 [Std. Dev: 1.92%]
Started Run 4 @ 15:00:12 [Std. Dev: 1.76%]
Started Run 5 @ 15:00:33 [Std. Dev: 1.61%]
Started Run 6 @ 15:00:54 [Std. Dev: 1.52%]
......
Started Run 88 @ 15:29:45 [Std. Dev: 0.92%]
Started Run 89 @ 15:30:06 [Std. Dev: 0.98%]
Started Run 90 @ 15:30:26 [Std. Dev: 0.98%]
Started Run 91 @ 15:30:47 [Std. Dev: 1.01%]
Started Run 92 @ 15:31:08

and it keeps starting more runs. The Std. Dev seems ok... The test installed fine as I tested the bzip binaries by hand.

This are my machine's specs: Sun UltraSPARC T2 8core with 32gb ram running on Solaris 10.

Why is this test running forever?

Thanks

What version of PTS are you using? Does this happen with other test profiles too?

Hi Michael, thanks for your quick response.

I am running PTS 6.2.2-Gamvik.

This is the only test I have installed. PTS was not able to install the test throught phoronix-test-suite install compress-pbzip2 command so I had to perform the installation/compilation by hand. I will install some other test soon to see if I get the same problem.

This is where pbzip is sitting right now:

Started Run 155 @ 15:53:18

Gzip Compression:
pts/compress-gzip-1.1.0
Test 1 of 1
Estimated Trial Run Count: 3
Estimated Time To Completion: 4 Minutes (19:57 CDT)
Running Pre-Test Script @ 19:54:39sh: PTS_VERSION=6.2.2: is not an identifier

Started Run 1 @ 19:54:39

Started Run 3 @ 20:00:46 [Std. Dev: 0.02%]
Started Run 4 @ 20:03:50

Gzip does the same thing.

I had to run dd if=/dev/zero of=compressfile bs=2048 count=1048576 by hand. compressfile is in the directory so the gzip binary is running ok.
