FileBench is out

I've just found out from the most recent entry in the blog of Sean McGrath that a public version of FileBench has been finally made available yesterday.

FileBench is a universal benchmark allowing you to emulate various models of stressing a filesystem. It is also a framework which deals with personalities - special configuration files - which provide emulation of rather complex applications from the point of their filesystem interaction. There are few such personalities - they emulate mail and web-server behaviour, oltp database, etc.

Nicky Veitch had an entry on FileBench for quite some time now, and if you need more info - there is a separate section on FileBench on the SolarisInternals website, right here.

Sources for FileBench 1.60 can be found on theFileBench project page at SourceForge.
