========

Device-Mapper's "delay" target delays reads and/or writes
|
||||
and maps them to different devices.
|
||||
|
||||
Parameters::
|
||||
|
||||
<device> <offset> <delay> [<write_device> <write_offset> <write_delay>
|
||||
[<flush_device> <flush_offset> <flush_delay>]]
|
||||
|
||||
With separate write parameters, the first set is only used for reads.
|
||||
Offsets are specified in sectors.
|
||||
Delays are specified in milliseconds.
|
||||
|
||||
Example scripts
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
#!/bin/sh
|
||||
# Create device delaying rw operation for 500ms
|
||||
echo "0 `blockdev --getsz $1` delay $1 0 500" | dmsetup create delayed
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
#!/bin/sh
|
||||
# Create device delaying only write operation for 500ms and
|
||||
# splitting reads and writes to different devices $1 $2
|
||||
echo "0 `blockdev --getsz $1` delay $1 0 0 $2 0 500" | dmsetup create delayed
