Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Morning all ... I have this box sitting around idle right now ... 1Gig of RAM, several 9 gig scsi hard drives ... no OS. I'm going to install FreeBSD 4.x on it this afternoon and want to run a load of tests on it and save the results ... benchmark the disk I/O, memory, SMP capabilities, network I/O, etc ... basically, I want to compare the two OSs on the exact same hardware, and see how they compare ... but I need suggestions on what software I should be running for doing the benchmarking ... it has to be apples to apples ... iozone-freebsd vs iozone-solaris, etc ... Since there doesn't appear to be one already, I'll compile my results and put them up on a web page for everyone to see and comment upon ... suggestions? thanks ... Marc G.
