Tests 228 and 405 are the only tests that use the make_small_sync() function in sanity-hsm. Considering the function internally calls: dd if=/dev/urandom ... conv=sync That conv=sync means: "pad every input block with NULs to ibs-size; when used with block or unblock, pad with spaces rather than NULs" And that /dev/urandom does not return short reads, and does not block. I believe the usefulness of make_small_sync is questionable. |
