Motivation and Context

Several zpool commands (status, list, iostat) have modes that present some information, sleep a while, present the current state, sleep, etc. Some of those had ways to invoke them that when piped would appear to do nothing for a while, because non-terminals are block-buffered, not line-buffered, by default. Fix this by forcing a flush before sleeping.

In particular, all of these buffered:

  • zpool status <pool> <interval>
  • zpool iostat -y<m> <pool> <interval>
  • zpool list <pool> <interval>

Description

Fix this by forcing a flush before sleeping.

How Has This Been Tested?

By hand.
