Package: bonnie++ Version: 1.97.1+b1 If you ask for symlinks and subdirectories, bonnie++ creates dangling symlinks and fails:
$ /usr/sbin/bonnie++ -d /tmp -s 0 -n 1:-2:0:32 Create files in sequential order...done. Stat files in sequential order...Can't stat file 0000000020P Cleaning up test directory after error. The criticial operations are: 22368 chdir("/tmp") = 0 22368 mkdir("./Bonnie.22368", 0700) = 0 22368 chdir("./Bonnie.22368") = 0 22368 mkdir("00000", 0700) = 0 ... 22368 mkdir("00031", 0700) = 0 22368 open("00000/0000000000D", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0600) = 3 22368 symlink("00000/0000000000D", "00000/0000000001d6l5hxs") = 0 ... 22368 symlink("00000/0000000000D", "00000/0000000020P") = 0 ... 22368 symlink("00000/0000000000D", "00031/00000003ffPO") = 0 22368 chdir("00000") = 0 22368 open(".", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 22368 stat64("0000000020P", 0xffb551b0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) The problem is that /tmp/Bonnie.22368/00000/0000000020P is a symlink to /tmp/Bonnie.22368/00000/00000/0000000000D, which doesn't exist. There are two obvious fixes, but I'm not sure which is preferred: 1) add "../" to the front of the symlink targets 2) create one real file per directory and remove the directory name from the symlink targets.
