FileBench users:
Version 1.4.7 has now been pushed to the OpenSolaris gate, and also
uploaded to SourceForge. Features and fixes since the last SourceForge
update (v1.4.4) include:
* Ability to open files within filesets in read only mode
* Some sanity checks so that if you specify both an "fd" of an open file
and a fileset name it will fail if they refer to different filesets.
* Ability to specify a warmup time in the .prof scripts that will run
the workloads for a specified time before beginning to collect statistics.
* Fixed a few problems with .prof syntax checking.
* Ability to disable collecting cpu utilization stats from /proc, if
that is causing a performance impact.
* The ability to remove filesets after a particular workload has been
run, to keep .prof files with many configurations form filling up storage.
* A sanity check when running fs_flush.pl that checks that the correct
file system is being flushed.
* A new filebench.pl command line option that allows you to override
variable assignments in the "DEFAULT" section.
* A few fixes to the fs_flush.pl script so it works better with some zfs
configurations.
* A few other fixes to things that were breaking with certain compilers
