Bonnie: Filesystem Benchmark Program
Bonnie++ is a benchmark suite that is aimed at performing a number of
simple tests of hard drive and file system performance. Then you can
decide which test is important and decide how to compare different systems
after running it. I have no plans to ever have it produce a single number,
because I don't think that a single number can be useful when comparing
such things. The main program tests database type access to a single file
(or a set of files if you wish to test more than 1G of storage), and it
tests creation, reading, and deleting of small files which can simulate
the usage of programs such as Squid, INN, or Maildir format email. The
ZCAV program which I initially released as a seperate package tests the
performance of different zones of a hard drive. It does not write any data
(so you can use it on full file systems). It can show why comparing the
speed of Windows at the start of a hard drive to Linux at the end of the
hard drive (typical dual-boot scenario) isn't a valid comparison. Bonnie++
was based on the code for Bonnie by Tim Bray.
