Compression test ./nftest about nfdump HOT 5 CLOSED

just do:
make nftest

from nfdump.

It's not working.
There is no rule for 'nftest'

from nfdump.

Sure it does. I use it.

from nfdump.

Dear Peter, please have a look:
My steps:

autoreconf -if'
./configure
./make nftest
"No rule to make target ''. Stop./// Нет правила для сборки цели «nftest». Останов."

I think, that rule about nftest there is only in bin/Makefile, not in the root folder. (i used grep -R nftest.c *)

Main question: why it is forbidden to use -j instead of -z in nfsen? I simply can't find a proper value in the config file.

from nfdump.

Hi,
nftest is build on the targed 'check' - 'make check' builds nftest.

To your question: It is not forbidden to use -j instead of -z. If your servers
are powerful enough, use -j. It is not recommended, as compression with -j
uses much more CPU and take much longer than -z. This puts a risk to loose flows
on a busy network.

Hope, this helps

- Peter
