BurnInTest Linux USB 3.0 test cycle definition and 'stop after X cycles'

[Linus]

Hello!

We're having two questions/issues.

1. We're running BurnInTest V5 Linux (1006) 64-bit and on some computers the USB 3.0 loopback tests are taking very long to finish a cycle. According to the manual the definition of one cycle is "USB 3.0 loopback plug: 1,000,000 data blocks (1 MB)". I'm not sure how accurate this is because at the moment I have a test running for 1 hour that has done 219 Billion operations, 107,116,160 KB sent and received which would be about 107 GB if I understand it correctly, but it reports 14 cycles.

2. The other issue is that even if I set the test to stop after 0 minutes and 2 cycles, the test still goes on even after 2 cycles and never seems to stop.

Kind regards, Linus

Looking in the source code, it seems to be more like 7,360,000 blocks x 1KB = ~7GB
Which does seem to correspond with what you are seeing.

We were able to reproduce this, below build should address this:

Thank you for your quick response.

Thanks for clarifying the cycle definition.

Awesome! I guess this fix will be implemented in a future official update as well?

Kind regards, Linus

Yes, we'll include it in the next public patch release.
