Test disk before deploy
-
Hi, I wanted to ask if it is possible, after clicking deploy and choosing the image, to check the health of the disk (test disk) and then the deployment starts on its own. it is feasible?
-
@alexamore90 Technically possible, but I don’t understand the use case.
Let’s say you do have it check the disk and then the deployment. You’ve only extended the time it takes to deploy the image.
There doesn’t seem to be a viable reason for doing this.
i presume you’re more asking for:
Test disk, if issues don’t deploy, if no issues, go ahead and deploy?
if that’s the case I don’t know that it’s that simple immediately. not impossible, but not simple at least.
-
yes exactly after the deploy menu when I choose the image he has to first check the disk for me, which tells me if it is good or not and if it is good he deploys the image for me, I saw that there is the test disk function in fog
-
@alexamore90 There is a test function in fog, yes.
But it’s not a “passthrough test” that I think you’re imagining.
It’s literally there as a task to test the disk, as some times a disk can show no issues, but have a bad sector or the head cannot move to that position. With some things testdisk is extremely helpful, but there’s not a “combined effort” of testdisk, currently, that would provide that functionality and I would not suggest it being used unless you know the drives are spinners.
In the case of SSD disks, there’s no real moving parts, and while it might have a test mechanism on its own, this task type should not be used for them.
