uAdd OS specific method, like syslog(), to log dt’s error
messages.
uIncorporate SCSI library to implement bus/target/lun reset triggers,
etc.
«faster triggering of analyzers (system() API slow with
heavy loads)
uInteractive interface to keep the device open, like scu does, to
allow more creative tests,
especially for tapes and tape libraries (although most folks use dt for disk testing).
uAdd output formats to allow statistics to be imported to tools such as MS
Excel, etc.
(*keepalive= options may provide these formats)
uGUI front-end? Might be nice, but not necessary
for test automation.
«desirable for dynamic features (stats, stop/start
device, etc)
uPort to VMS? There’s a need, so
given the time, this may happen.
uNative Windows? Mostly there, thanks to the HP Hazard India team. The
code needs a few tweaks for file system testing and multiple processes (originally ported for raw I/O testing
only).
uMy personal goal is to create a modular design with support for testing multiple concurrent devices, POSIX threads, and an
interactive mode, fully
customizable, dynamic statistics, and on-the-fly device interaction.
uPlease send me your wish list!!!
