I was running a sequential read test using the filemicro_seqread file using the following parameters using filebench-1.0.0 on Red Hat Linux - 2.6.18.
FileBench Version 1.0.0 filebench> load filemicro_seqread 2406: 8.407: FileMicro-SeqRead Version 2.0 personality successfully loaded 2406: 8.407: Usage: set $dir=<dir> defaults to /mnt/testfs/ 2406: 8.407: set $iosize=<size> defaults to 4096 2406: 8.407: set $filesize=<size> defaults to 3072 2406: 8.407: set $nthreads=<value> defaults to 1 2406: 8.407: set $cached=<bool> defaults to 0 2406: 8.407: 2406: 8.407: run runtime (e.g. run 60) filebench> run 60 As can be seen from the above parameters, the filesize I create is 3072 (3k). When I look in to the /mnt/testfs, I see the following: # ls -lt bigfileset/00000001/00000001 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 393 Oct 29 2007 bigfileset/00000001/00000001 I see only 393 bytes!! Why would this be? When I increased the filesize to 20k, I see a file only 2620bytes - about 10X less. What would I be doing wrong? The filemicro_seq used is as follows: set $dir=/mnt/testfs/ set $nthreads=1 set $iosize=4k set $filesize=20k set $cached=0 define fileset name=bigfileset,path=$dir,size=$filesize,entries=$nthreads,dirwidth=1024,prealloc=100,cached=$cached define process name=filereader,instances=1 { thread name=filereaderthread,memsize=10m,instances=$nthreads { flowop read name=append-file,filesetname=bigfileset,iosize=$iosize,fd=1 } } __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
