Description Sitsofe Wheeler 2014-02-23 09:39:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
The current Fedora version of iowatcher has a bug where the iodepth keeps going up past feasible levels. The latest git version of iowatcher (4748783e170b168013bf157679faa10f49eb8000) fixes this and adds new features.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
iowatcher-1.0-4.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:
Reproducible every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
In the directory where the attached blktrace dump is
1. Run
unxz win2012install.dump.xz
iowatcher -t win2012install -o win2012install.svg
eog win2012install.svg

Actual results:
Queue depth of over 1599 is shown.

Expected results:
Queue depth to never be more than 128.

Additional info:
The git version of iowatcher does not exhibit this problem.

Hi Sits, thanks for your bug report. I've contacted upstream to ask about a new release version. If there isn't one coming soon I'll add the relevant patches to the SRPM rather than base the package on git.
Comment 3 Andrew Price 2014-09-25 15:28:47 UTC 
Apologies for the delay, things went a bit quiet upstream for a while. Things are picking up now, though: iowatcher has just been merged into blktrace upstream* and released in blktrace 1.1.0 so I intend to work with the blktrace package maintainer to retire the iowatcher package and generate the rpm from the blktrace package in Fedora in future.
