That I don't know.

The script I was running is this one :

/usr/local/racer/ holds this test script :
ftp://ftp.lustre.org/pub/benchmarks/racer-lustre.tar.gz
The script is modified to use /mnt/test/racer for its tests.

/usr/local/iozone/ holds iozone version 3.263

/usr/local/bonnie++/ holds bonnie++ version 1.03

/usr/local/diskWriggler/ holds diskWriggler version 1.0.1

I keep forgetting, sorry. I'll try harder to remember :)
