Attempts +are made to maintain ordering, CPU mappings and time-separation of IOs. The +general workflow is expected to be: + +\begin{enumerate} + \item Initiate \texttt{blktrace} to capture traces + \item Generate traces\ldots + \item Stop \texttt{blktrace} + \item Run \texttt{btrecord} to convert traces into IO records + \item Utilize \texttt{btreplay} to replay IOs +\end{enumerate} + +This document will discuss the operating characteristics of +\texttt{btreplay} and provide detailed command line option descriptions. |
