Comment 8 for bug 1573062

Note that memory_stress_ng is a script in the Checkbox certification suite. The actual stress-ng command line should be:

timeout -s 9 $end_time stress-ng --aggressive --verify --timeout $runtime --brk 0

The exact values of $end_time and $runtime vary with the amount of memory in the system -- it's 300 seconds plus 10 seconds per GiB for $runtime and 50% more for $end_time.

Note also that Mike's "1-3 hours tops" refers to the ENTIRE memory_stress_ng run; the "stress-ng... --brk 0" run would of course be much shorter than that, since the script runs a series of stressors in sequence.
