Well, I'm about to try building a box with XFS over 6 IDE drives
(using master+slave on two of the channels) doing software
RAID-5. I want to test this setup as thoroughly as I possibly
can, in as short a time period as I possibly can. (The IDE
drives arrived today, and people want them in production by
tomorrow morning, "if possible".)
Anyone have any suggestions for tools to stress the system? To
look for XFS+NFS and XFS+Samba bottlenecks and bugs? To make
the drives fail as soon as possible, if they're so inclined?
I've been using bonnie and iozone; any other suggestions?
Thanks.
