Hi, Indeed the proposed dd test does not work on zRAM slaves. Can we modify the job not to run on nodes with ram_disk label?
The node will be offline for now until we agree on what to do. An option is to abandon RAM disks completely as we didn't find any performance benefits from using them so far.
