Released Bonnie++ 1.96

I have released version 1.96 of Bonnie++ in the experimental branch [1].

The main changes are:

  1. Made it compile on Solaris again (version 1.95 broke that)
  2. Now supports more files for the small file creation test (16^10 files is the limit), and it handles an overflow better. Incidentally this will in some situations change the results so I changed the result version in the CSV file.
  3. Fixed some bugs in bon_csv2html and added some new features to give nicer looking displays and correct colors

I still plan to add support for semi-random data and validation of data when reading it back before making a 2.0 release. But 2.0 is getting close.

    Cannot compile under AIX 5.3 or 6.1. Have compiled v1.02a successfully though. Does this support use of Storage Attached Networks? Fiber channel adapters, 4Gb? V1.02a on SAN only returns a few numeric results, not useful at all.

    What compile errors do you get?

    I want to post results from a simple test I did .. I am still attempting to understand all the data. Am trying to test a 32 node AIX p6-550 database cluster. Here are the results of one simple test, v1.02a.

    Stop.

  • Hi,

    I want to test Bonnie++ 1.96 with several threads on several client nodes of an NFS.

    What is the best way to do this ?

    Thanks
