-Bonnie: Filesystem Benchmark Program
-
-Bonnie tests the speed of file I/O using standard C library calls.
-It does reads and writes of blocks, testing for the limit of sustained
-data rate (usually limited by the drive or controller) and updates on
-a file (better simulating normal operating conditions and quite dependent
-on drive and OS optimisations).
-The per character read and write tests are generally limited by CPU speed
-only on current generation hardware. It takes some 35 SPECint92 to read
-or write a file at a rate of 1MB/s using getc() and putc().
-The seek tests are dependent on the buffer cache size, since the fraction
-of disk blocks that fits into the buffer cache will be found without any
-disk operation and will contribute zero seek time readings. I.e. if the
-buffer cache is 16MB and the Bonnie test file is 32MB in size, then the
-seek time will come out as half its real value. The seek time includes
-rotational delay, and will thus always come out higher than specified for
-a drive.
