Hi Richard,
I would like to know exact meaning of the parameters used while
generating load using filebench.
I am using a .prof file with following parameters:
nfiles = 20000;
meandirwidth = 20;
filesize = 2k;
nthreads = 100;
meaniosize = 16k;
1) nfiles = 20000 is OK, I verified with kstat that filebench created
20000 files with +/- 5% difference.
2) I do not understand meandirwidth = 20. Does this mean that depth of
directory tree will be 20 or something else?
3) filesize = 2k does not hold true either. I see files with sizes
ranging from 512 bytes till 12K in the fileset created.
4) What exactly meaniosize = 16k means? Is it mean of i/o done per sec?
It will be really helpful if you can provide meaning of these parameters.
Regards,
-Atul
