[NTLUG:Discuss] Filesystem Performance/Durability Tests

[Paul Ingendorf]

I'm sorry, I didn't take into account that not everyone on this list
understands English fluently.  When referring to it's durability I mean how
well it deals with interrupted writes and various other real world
operations that could cause file system corruption.  Thanks for the tip on
the throughput tool I will check it out.

Are you talking about disk benchmarking utilities???

A filesystem exerciser???

I'm not sure exactly what you mean.

I use bonnie++ for throughput testing on filesystems.
I have no idea what you would use for "reliability"
testing.  And "durability"... I guess that means how
easily is it read/written after being physically dropped...
that one is probably done through experimentation.
