Description of problem: Take advantage of the count_bytes iflag in dd in order to simplify ddWatchCopy (where we are currently maintaining our logic): def ddWatchCopy(src, dst, stop, size, offset=0): ... while left > 0: (iounit, count, iooffset) = _alignData(left, offset) ... cmd = [constants.EXT_DD, "if=%s" % src, "of=%s" % dst, "bs=%d" % iounit, "seek=%s" % iooffset, "skip=%s" % iooffset, "conv=%s" % conv, 'count=%s' % count] ... left = left % iounit offset = baseoffset + size - left
What is the impact of this RFE? what flow does it affect?
ddWatchCopy has been removed from VDSM.
