  • BurnInTest Linux Disk test v4 no errors, v5 errors after a random amount of time

    We're running Disk test in BurnInTest V4 (1004) for 12 hours on systems just out of production and we get no errors.
    When we're running the same test, same machine, not even rebooted, using BurnInTest V5 (1010) we get errors after a random amount of time. So far they are starting to show up after around 2-4 hours and continue to add up for as long as the test is running.

    The latest test started at around 08:00 local time and the first errors started showing around 12:06.
    The Event Log reports "Disk, /dev/nvme0n1p1: Test file could not be created...".

    Since we had around 10 newly built production units we tested them all and they all passed the test using V4 but they failed the test using V5.

    Since they are all brand new units I doubt it is a hardware error. Is anything changed in the way the tests are executed during the last couple of updates of V5? If I recall correctly we did not see these errors using build 1006 but on the other hand we did not test the exact identical systems so take that with a grain of salt.

    There has been some changes between V4 and V5

    Can you run BITLinux in debug mode (with '-d' parameter), reproduce the error, and send us the logs?

      I'm sorry for the late reply. I ran some tests in debug mode but since I ran tests on the CPU, RAM and graphics as well as disk-test the log file got a bit too large. I'm running disk-test-only at the moment so I can give you a complete debug log. I've attached a file where I filtered out all lines that contain the phrase "disk:" but as I said I will get a complete debug log as soon as it has failed.

      The first error occurred at May 16 12:02:29

        Is an unusual error.
        Error 24, Too many open files

        Seems in some versions of Linux there is a low limit for number of files that can be opened (256). But it looks like there is an easy Linux configuration option to increase the limit.

        This page covers it.

        For a modern system I would suggest the limit be at least 10,000 files.
