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.

A simple "make" didn't do the trick though ;) 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. eric _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
