I've spent a lot of time working with startup companies in the past (present and likely future!) it's a funny old business. Sometimes you get a group that seem to do well, but fail in some odd way, sometimes people fail, pick themselves up, fail, etc. (And some just deserve to die, be burried and totally forgotten about!!!) The new box was installed yesterday and has been running disk & network tests for a while and so-far so good. I don't have Gb Ethernet in my home office, so hadn't had a chace to test it at full line speeds, bu right now it's going well. I typically run multiple copies of bonnie and wget to/from another server to thrash the networking, then will do stuff via NFS, transfer big files, checksum them, etc. as well as lots of little files. Anyone have a good solid testsuite then like to run?
