Title: iperf repo request
Post by: ananix on November 05, 2013, 10:20:16 AM

Hi, was wondering if somebody would be so nice to make and maintain a iperf tce in the repo.

Hi ananix
Both  iperf.tcz  and  iperf3.tcz  are available in the 4.x repository. If your request is for 5.x, you can fetch the one that
interests you using:

Code: [Select]

wget http://www.tinycorelinux.net/4.x/x86/tcz/iperf.tczCopy the extension to your  tce  directory and load it like this:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i iperfTest it out. If iperf (or iperf3) works, please report it here:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,15906.msg95105.html#msg95105
Both extensions were updated within the last 3 months and neither has any dependencies.

Sorry for all the confusion im a bit rusty in tiny core as i have been working a new job for the past year not leaving any space for tiny core but now it seems im have sneaked it in so i once again can work with my favorite linux and comunity.
I noticed straight away it was the wrong place i posted and i did find post taking about iperf in the other repo's just did not know how to make sense of it in relation to my gui tce-load.
As usaly i got super support from you guyes and i now have iperf3 loaded seems to be working fine but i will return with real results after field trials.
Thanks and sorry for my untuned brain.

Both iperf and iperf3 seems to work, I did once though have a segment fault when running after removing USB, cant figure out why though.

Hi ananix
Is the seg fault reproducible? Does it happen with both versions of  iperf?

Was that a USB thumb drive or USB network adapter?

With a mounted partition?

Hello sorry for late response first i did not think anything of it but after all your interrest i have tried again and i can now tell you more specificly
its iperf3 im not getting same problem with iperf2.
I can reproduce the problem
I have a mounted partion, the USB drive itself at /mnt/sda1
I do not unmount just unplug.
It is a USB thumb drive.

Hi ananix
Since unplugging a mounted drive is not standard operating procedure I would say report both extensions as functional:

do we wanna dig more into it anyway?
Im starting to think it could have something to do with UDEV and not booting with CDE flag? Maybe it thinks its a persistent storage?
Its not always it happens sometimes it works.

Ok one thing is for sure if i run iperf3 before removing the USB it works.
Also it seems if i wait loong enough it works.
I started to think it was slow sync to vfat but making a "sync" before removing the USB seems to have no effect on the problem.

Hi ananix
Unless you can reproduce this behavior by first unmounting and then unplugging I don't think it's a problem.
