This experimental version now has a "-z" command-line option to specify the seed for random number generation as suggested by several people on this list. When I do repeated runs of it I don't see results being any closer together than when using different random seeds. But it will hopefully be useful to you anyway. Also I have fixed a bug where the experimental versions would SEGV after completing the IO tests for no apparent reason. It is available on my web site (which I have just moved to a better connected server for faster transfers) and on Sourceforge. Another project that I am starting to work on is an LDAP benchmark. If you are interested in benchmarking LDAP servers or tuning ReiserFS for better OpenLDAP performance then you can talk to me off the list about what your requirements are (I am still in the design phase). -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
