Have been able to compile filebench 1.62 on Solaris 8 with both gcc and Studio 11, but it simply won't run. Appears to be at least two issues at play:
1. The parser seems to be broken: # /opt/bin/filebench filebench> load varmail 16437: 3.733: Varmail Version 1.24 2005/06/22 08:08:30 personality successfully loaded 16437: 3.737: Usage: set $dir=<dir> 16437: 3.737: set $filesize=<size> defaults to 16384 16437: 3.738: set $nfiles=<value> defaults to 1000 16437: 3.738: set $nthreads=<value> defaults to 16 16437: 3.739: set $meaniosize=<value> defaults to 16384 16437: 3.739: set $meandirwidth=<size> defaults to 1000000 16437: 3.739: (sets mean dir width and dir depth is calculated as log (width, nfiles) 16437: 3.740: dirdepth therefore defaults to dir depth of 1 as in postmark 16437: 3.740: set $meandir lower to increase depth beyond 1 if desired) 16437: 3.740: 16437: 3.740: run runtime (e.g. run 60) 16437: 3.741: [b]parse error, token expected on line 51[/b] 2. Regardless of where you set $dir to be, the files end up being created in whatever directory you were in when you started filebench. As others have asked on this list, is 1.62 the latest version?
