Package: bonnie++
Version: 1.97.3
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

'man bonnie++' has a "MULTIPLE PROCESSES" section that explains how to use
semaphores to run 3 copies of Bonnie++ simulatenously.

Unfortunately, the commands shown are wrong as the '-y' option requires a
synchronisation mode, so the example fails to run.

The section about the '-p' option explicitly states that the parallel processes
must be started with '-ys'.

So please fix the "MULTIPLE PROCESSES" example:

-bonnie++ -y > out1 &
+bonnie++ -ys > out1 &
