Note, here is the description of the 'fileserver.f' workload:
"
define process name=filereader,instances=1
{
   thread name=filereaderthread,memsize=10m,instances=$nthreads
   {
     flowop openfile name=openfile1,filesetname=bigfileset,fd=1
     flowop appendfilerand name=appendfilerand1,iosize=$meaniosize,fd=1
     flowop closefile name=closefile1,fd=1
     flowop openfile name=openfile2,filesetname=bigfileset,fd=1
     flowop readwholefile name=readfile1,fd=1
     flowop closefile name=closefile2,fd=1
     flowop deletefile name=deletefile1,filesetname=bigfileset
     flowop statfile name=statfile1,filesetname=bigfileset
   }
}
"

Each thread in 'nthreads' is executing the above:
- open
- append
- close
- open
- read
- close
- delete
- stat

You have 20 parallel threads doing the above.

Before looking at the results, decide if that really *is* your  
expected workload.

Are you talking about the documentation at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/filebench
or:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/performance/filebench/
and:
http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/FileBench
?

I'll figure out why "make" isn't working.
