There has been a conscious decision to include Filebench in both Solaris and OpenSolaris under /usr/benchmarks/filebench. If the community is looking for an IO benchmarking tool, then that should be your first stop. There is work in progress to enhance Filebench to do everything, including features that vdbench has. Since this is work in progress, customers may find their Sun representitive using vdbench for a little while yet; however there is no plan to include a second IO benchmarking tool in /usr/benchmarks. If possible, we'll make one tool do everything. Brendan -- Brendan [CA, USA] _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
