Note that memory_stress_ng is a script in the Checkbox certification suite. The actual stress-ng command line should be:
timeout -s 9 $end_time stress-ng --aggressive --verify --timeout $runtime --brk 0 The exact values of $end_time and $runtime vary with the amount of memory in the system -- it's 300 seconds plus 10 seconds per GiB for $runtime and 50% more for $end_time. Note also that Mike's "1-3 hours tops" refers to the ENTIRE memory_stress_ng run; the "stress-ng... --brk 0" run would of course be much shorter than that, since the script runs a series of stressors in sequence. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573062 Title: memory_stress_ng failing for IBM Power S812LC(TN71-BP012) for 16.04 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: memory_stress_ng, as part of server certification is failing for IBM Power S812LC(TN71-BP012) in bare metal mode. Failing in this case is defined by the test locking up the server in an unrecoverable state which only a reboot will fix. I will be attaching screen and kern logs for the failures and a successful run on 14.04 on the same server.
