Message-Id: <19990430113832.005448@lists.skynet.be> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Folks, I don't want to get into any OS wars here, but I'd like to do some low-level disk benchmarking of a Linux system using the same tool I used for that under FreeBSD, namely Greg Lehey's "rawio" (see ). This program was originally written to test his "vinum" software mirroring/striping/RAID device driver for FreeBSD (see ), but I believe that it would be generally useful to do low-level disk testing under most any *nix OS. Anyway, if there's anyone out there with any experience in porting programs that do low-level disk I/O, I'd appreciate it if you could take a look at this program and give me some pointers on what it would take to get it to compile and run under Linux (specifically, Debian Linux with kernel 2.2.6). Also, since I'm not subscribed to either of these mailing lists and I can't keep up with the newsgroup gateway for them, I would appreciate it if you would also e-mail me any responses you might have on this subject.
