Thanks all for all your help. But I am running into newer issues wherein, if I do the following: filebench> load varmail filebench> run 10 filebench> run 10 The first run 10 works fine, but the second one keeps "Waiting for pid ..... thread filereaderthread-1" and then ultimately seems to hang after "running" If I "quit" after the first run and then load again and run again, things work fine. So.... may be am not expected to do "run" twice? Do any of you see such an issue as well? or is it just me doing something wrong?
