FileBench: File System Benchmark

FileBench is a framework of file system workloads for measuring and comparing file system performance. FileBench was developed by Richard McDougall, Joshua Crase and Shawn Debnath as part of a strategy for local and NFS file system performance characterization. FileBench is released as Open Source under the CDDL license.

The FileBench framework includes a perl script that generates color coded html pages to easily compare file systems quick manner.

Source Code

The FileBench source code is available from sourceforge.net.

• Download
• Sourceforge CVS repository
• Source Browser via OpenSolaris

Documentation

Here is the quick start guide. If that's not enough detail for you, the complete ins and outs of filebench can be found on the Solaris Internals wiki.

Trouble Shooting

You can find helpful hints when things don't go exactly as you thought they would in the gotchas section.

Future Work

There's lots of work still to do on FileBench. If you have questions, please ask them in the perf-discuss forum (perf-discuss AT opensolaris DOT org).
