Mike, I don't have the test, but I've built a generic performance testing framework for FreeBSD over the past couple of months that would make running such a test trivial. I'd post a link but the page has no permanent home yet. When it gets one I can follow it up with a link. For now, the application called "boot_tester" allows the user to run a set of commands (usually performance tests) on boot. The framework optionally creates a new filesystem work area and outputs in a standard format. The commands are run for n iterations (one per boot) over an array of kernels. If used with the diskless testbed setup I've started developing to use with it, running tests over arbitrary worlds as well as kernels is trivial and can be automated. If anyone's interested, contact me. Like I said, I'll put up a link when I get a home for the pages. <quote who="Mike Silbersack"> > > On Fri, 28 Feb 2003, Paul Robinson wrote: > >> Well, I'm just a hanger-on without a commit bit, so I'll >> work on making it production ready in the next few weeks, >> post up a patch and if somebody wants to commit it, great. >> At the moment it's all based on 4.3-RELEASE and isn't really >> production ready.
