For my main web servers I've beaten on them for 300+ hours.
How do you 'burn them in'?
Lately, I've been installing OpenBSD on a machine and doing a
bulk build of packages, all the third party programs that run
on it. About 7,600 programs mostly written in C, and even on
a really fast system it takes about 30 hours. Compiling does
lots of disk I/O and also is a good stress test for systems in
general.
There is also an open source program called iogen which makes
software suffer. Not sure what op systems it's been ported to.
I wrote something, dt (disk terrorizer), but the code ownership
is still tied up so I can't give it out yet.
