Just for what it's worth, I've had trouble reproducing this on another brand of
SSD... something like this (don't let the xfs_io throw you; it's just a
convenient way to generate the IO). I did this on a 512M filesystem.
#!/bin/bash
SCRATCH_MNT=/mnt/scratch
rm -f $SCRATCH_MNT/*
touch $SCRATCH_MNT/outputfile
# Create several large-ish files
for I in `seq 1 240`; do
xfs_io -F -f -c "pwrite 0 2m" $SCRATCH_MNT/file$I &>/dev/null
done
# reread the last bit of each, just for kicks, and truncate off 1m
for I in `seq 1 240`; do
xfs_io -F -c "pread 1m 2m" $SCRATCH_MNT/file$I &>/dev/null
xfs_io -F -c "truncate 1m" $SCRATCH_MNT/file$I
done
# Append the outputfile
xfs_io -F -c "pwrite 0 250m" $SCRATCH_MNT/outputfile &>/dev/null
In the end I don't get any corruption. I was hoping to write a testcase for
this (one that didn't take 250G) :)
Does the above reflect your use case? Does the above corrupt the outputfile on
your filesystem? (note the "rm -rf" above, careful with that). You could
substitute dd for xfs_io without much trouble if desired.
