HI, In PC and open system a lot of products are delivered to customer with the knowledge that their product have bugs and a lot of bugs but testing the product by users can assist to debug the product and to have comments from the users about the product in its current status.
Sometime I believe that open system way is the right way to distribute the product before it is ready to make the product transition from beta status to production quicker. OK, I know that MF is not a PC but why block ourselves from other technologies which are doing well. Therefore, in this stage of my product I must do apology that I distribute the product (like a PC product) before it was in its mature status but really that help me a lot. Therefore, the MFNetDisk status is now much better than before. I run a lot of tests and fix bugs and now in my beta test, I am happy with the results. Do not forget the product is still in beta, there are bugs in the product, and we are aware to them. However, now we are in a point which the users while have hard time to find bugs. I know that the users will like more new features, and we are waiting to receive new requests. Here are some fixes I put: 1. Fix error accessing the data using 64 bits address. 2. Now the performance it is better then ever. New dispatching algorithm to Serve the IO request better (for Sync, ASync and FastSync modes). 3. The MFNetDisk has been tested under stress tests (massive IO, High CPU usage etc..). 4. Test the product with lower dispatching priority than the others jobs to find out how MFNetDisk handle this condition. I fixed some bugs in this condition. 5. Force the product to run out of its resource (like IO requests etc...). This condition creates bugs and the bugs are now fixed. The bugs were critical bugs . I cannot find more errors using my tests. 6. Yes, If my tests cannot find bugs, then I need to use other tests to find other bugs. On the other hand, the hundreds of users who download the product hopefully will find new bugs. If you like to findout how the product act, please download it now from my site (not to production) and verify the product status. www.mfnetdisk.com.
