Description of problem:
It seems that blkiomon gets into problems when consuming data from blktrace on ia64 machine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL5.4-Server-20090512.nightly
blktrace-1.0.0-5.el5
kernel-2.6.18-141.el5

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
# mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug/
# blktrace -w 60 -d /dev/cciss/c0d0 | blkiomon -I 10 -h - 
blkiomon: endianess problem
# strace -o output.txt blktrace -w 60 -d /dev/cciss/c0d0 | blkiomon -I 10 -h -
blkiomon: endianess problem
# time blktrace -w 60 -d /dev/cciss/c0d0 | blkiomon -I 10 -h -
blkiomon: endianess problem

real	1m0.164s
user	0m0.003s
sys	0m0.915s

# umount /sys/kernel/debug/
  
Actual results:

Milos, did you say this was NOTABUG due to missing "-o -" for blktrace?

# blktrace -w 5 -d /dev/sda | blkiomon -I 10 -h -
blkiomon: endianess problem

# blktrace -w 5 -d /dev/sda -o - | blkiomon -I 10 -h -
# 

if you agree let's close it :)

Thanks,
-Eric

Comment 3 Milos Malik 2009-05-14 06:56:34 UTC
I agree. Could you close it please?

Comment 4 Eric Sandeen 2009-05-14 15:15:22 UTC
need to pipe that output somewhere for blkiomon to get what it expects :)

Thanks,
-Eric
