(See README for an explaination on how to interpret the values.) \nMedium is a memory card which reports 524288 bytes as erase block size and 4194304 bytes as preferred erase size.
===> Suggestions for further benchmarking <===
Further tests can show the number of open erase blocks the medium can support.
BEWARE: These tests write onto the device! Make a backup first!
Further tests could look as follows: flashbench --open-au --open-au-nr=3 --erasesize=524288 --blocksize=1024 /dev/mmcblk0 --offset=$[24*1024*1024] flashbench --open-au --open-au-nr=5 --erasesize=524288 --blocksize=1024 /dev/mmcblk0 --offset=$[24*1024*1024] flashbench --open-au --open-au-nr=7 --erasesize=524288 --blocksize=1024 /dev/mmcblk0 --offset=$[24*1024*1024] flashbench --open-au --open-au-nr=13 --erasesize=524288 --blocksize=1024 /dev/mmcblk0 --offset=$[24*1024*1024]
(Consult the README for further suggestions.)
Arnd, would above suggestions by my script make some sense? I have seen you testing a 32 GB Samsung Micro SDHC with 30 and 31 erase blocks on this list.
Please advice as to meaning ful tests for this device.
What is the best for offset? I understand it makes sense for it to be dividable by erase block size.
And what is about preferred erase size? What is the difference to erase block size?
(Will post git repo for flashreport script in next post. Script is not yet tested for USB sticks :)
Thanks,
Ping?
