One kyua test failure in FreeBSD10.1 running on Hyper-V 2012R2

[Andy Zhang (AZURE)]

Hi Ed,	
	This stress2 test framework is very easy to use. I have run the test on 10.1 over the weekend. The VM seems extremely slow after running stress2 for two days, is this expected?
My question is 
1. How long should I run the stress2 test?
2. Is there any clear test result shows whether this test passes or not? E.g. kyua test result is quite clear to me

I have uploaded the screen display log of "sh run.sh" in case you want to take a look:

Thanks.

Glad to hear you're running the regression tests on FreeBSD in Hyper-V.

You might like to have a look at Peter Holm's "stress2" test suite as well. As the name implies it's a set of kernel stress tests. The README for the test suite can be found here:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/user/pho/stress2/README?view=markup

A quick-start guide to giving it a try:

% svnlite co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/user/pho/stress2
% cd stress2
% make
% sh run.sh

Note that you may well run into bugs in stock FreeBSD. Either way the result should be useful in improving FreeBSD on Hyper-V.
