[Libguestfs] [PATCH nbdkit] python: Simulate slow extents
In some situations getting image extents can be slow. Add configuration
value to simulate slow extents. This can be useful for testing and
optimizing nbd clients.
Example usage - simulating 1 seconds delay:
qemu-img create -f raw test.img 10g
./nbdkit -f -v python ./plugins/python/examples/file.py \
file=test.img extents_delay=1 2>&1 | grep 'python: extents'
nbdkit: python.1: debug: python: extents count=2147483136 offset=0 req_one=1
nbdkit: python.0: debug: python: extents count=2147483136 offset=2147483136 req_one=1
nbdkit: python.2: debug: python: extents count=2147483136 offset=4294966272 req_one=1
nbdkit: python.3: debug: python: extents count=2147483136 offset=6442449408 req_one=1
nbdkit: python.5: debug: python: extents count=2147483136 offset=8589932544 req_one=1
nbdkit: python.6: debug: python: extents count=2560 offset=10737415680 req_one=1
nbdkit: python.4: debug: python: extents count=2147483136 offset=0 req_one=1
nbdkit: python.9: debug: python: extents count=2147483136 offset=2147483136 req_one=1
nbdkit: python.14: debug: python: extents count=2147483136 offset=4294966272 req_one=1
nbdkit: python.11: debug: python: extents count=2147483136 offset=6442449408 req_one=1
nbdkit: python.9: debug: python: extents count=2147483136 offset=8589932544 req_one=1
nbdkit: python.9: debug: python: extents count=2560 offset=10737415680 req_one=1
In another shell:
$ time qemu-img convert -p -f raw -O raw nbd://localhost/ test.img
(100.00/100%)
real 0m18.029s
user 0m2.314s
sys 0m3.581s
Without extent delay this takes about 5.6 seconds.
