I just chatted with Brendan Gregg. He has a concern about bonnie++ and
filebench which is developed by PAE. Looks like PAE wants to be careful
of what benchmark tool goes into Solaris. I will wait for the analysis
from Brendan and PAE.
In the meantime, I have two updates on the ARC case.
1) I want to move the bonnie++ from /usr/bin to /usr/sfw/bin
/usr/sfw/bin/bonnie++ Committed Executable location
/usr/sfw/bin/bon_csv2html Committed Executable location
/usr/sfw/bin/bon_csv2txt Committed Executable location
2) Fix a typo on Steven Le's email address. It should be steven.le at sun.com.
Thanks,
dfan
