Is there a newer version available?
The newest version on sourceforge is almost 2 years old.
I'd like to work on an extension, but don't want to duplicate
work. In particular, I'm wondering if there's been work to
break the posix IO part out into a plugin or module. If so,
I'd like to use that architecture to create an alternate IO
module.
Hi, Tim.
Yes, sourceforge is woefully out of date. There is a group
of us that have been working on cleaning up filebench
(source and documentation). The documentation piece is
being captured on the solarisinternals.com wiki at:
http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/FileBench
-and-

FileBench_Workload_Language
Our intent is to have filebench included in OpenSolaris proper
so that the tool is generally available/useful. We also intend
to keep the sourceforge project active to assist in porting to
other platforms, etc. The exact details of who we are going
to accomplish that are yet to be defined.
As for plugins or separate from the posix i/o usage, I am working
on that with the help of an intern. My initial intent is
to provide a NFSv3 and NFSv4 plugins and eventually CIFS as well.
