[Iometer-user] Error Message

[Steven J. S. Jr. <ssc...@nw...>]

I am getting intermittent failures of Dynamo, using it to test CIFS shares
on NAS devices.  I am getting "Error 64 reading *blocksize* from disk X:"

I am also getting it on writes.  It's intermittent.  What does error 64
mean, exactly?  I get that it's a read error, but that's pretty sparse.  I
can still read and write with Explorer to that share, even after the error.
Not sure what's going on.  This is running IOMETER and DYNAMO under Win2k
SP4.



The setup:

11 machines, 10 for testing, 11th for IOMETER console.

2.53ghz p4 Intel boxes with Gigabit copper Intel NIC, (2) 10/100 INTEL NICs,
512mb RAM 60gb ATA hard disk, CD-ROM dual booted with Windows 2000 Server
SP4 and Red Hat Linux 8 (no updates) with GRUB. Motherboard uses Intel 845e
chipset and is an Intel entry level server board, all housed in a CI Design
case.

Only the Gigabit Copper NICs are active. All others have been disabled in
software.

5 Machines are connected to an Extreme Networks Summit 7i Gigabit Copper
Ethernet switch.  5 are connected to a Cisco 6500.  Half the machines are on
the 10.2.1.x subnet, the other half on the 10.1.1.x subnet.

KVM is provided by two networked Cybex AutoBoot Commander 4XPs.

Cabling has been verified and certified to CAT5e standards.
