[NTLUG:Discuss] Filesystem Performance/Durability Tests

[Paul Ingendorf]

I've been looking into it and found fsx which appears to be from Next or
Apple or both after Apple bought Next.  See copyright at the top of the
file.

There are also a ton of listings for man pages etc if you search our fsx
file system exerciser on most search engines you will see examples of how to
use it.  This still does not seem to offer a full range of tests mainly io
and various file type creation along will the ability to do some stress
testing of the fs.  I'm looking for something that might be more complete.
Like being able to try and write corrupted files and see how the fs reacts
to this.  Interrupting a write and see how the fs recovers or leaves the
half written file sans eof.  I'm sure there are more that aren't on the top
of my head right now even though I wish they were

Howdy,
   I remember reading that Apple had built a file system exerciser that the
FreeBSD people credited with helping them iron out their filesystem.  Does
anyone know what it is called and if it runs on Linux?
Good day,
Ralph
