Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Folks, I've searched the web (via several engines) and DejaNews, but unfortunately the FreeBSD.org website appears to be unreachable (for me, at least) at the moment, so I can't search the web pages or the mailing list archives. I'm also not sure that this is the correct place to be asking this question, so any assistance or advice you can provide in this area would be appreciated. Anyway, I was going through Nework Appliance's website, and ran across this benchmark program they had created (see ) to do large numbers of filesystem-level tests (creating randomly sized files, directories with randomly distributed numbers of files and subdirectories, etc...) and some pretty extensive tests that they ran on this dataset. It looks to me to be a much better OS/filesystem-level benchmark than bonnie, so I was interested in using it to further extend the low-level raw disk device testing that I'm going to be doing with rawio on various configurations of vinum logical volumes, as well as ccd and whatever other hardware caching RAID controllers I can lay my hands on. Unfortunately, the source code no longer seems to be available from their web site. Anybody know if this ever got ported to FreeBSD? Or if perhaps there are comparable types of OS/flesystem-level tests that do run under FreeBSD?
