Hi,
I have acquired some second-hand dual processor servers with the intention of
putting OpenBSD with on them. I have put Debian on one of them and FreeBSD
on another, and am pounding them as hard as I can with setiathome to see if
they fall over.
Setiathome doesn't test much, unless you're running so many that it eats
all RAM and all disk.
Is there a similar burn-testing app that I can run on OpenBSD to test the
stability of the machines over a 12 day period?
What all do you want to test?
Multiple dd's to multiple files until the fs is full, to check no bad
blocks and fs integrity.
Build your source for testing cpu (and limited memory/disk).
If x86, memtest86 for testing memory. Not sure for other archs, maybe a
full mfs?
Multiple ttcp's or netperf's for network testing.
Any other cards or systems you want to test, like video/serial/cd/etc?
I'm not sure how to do it, but remember you want to touch every part of
every system, not just the first 728mb of 1gb of RAM, or just 200GB of
250GB of disk.
