I would actually welcome more tests with specific user profiles, like
many small reads and writes for database use, and concurrent random
reading and writing to simulate the load on a server. What bonnie++ is
reporting is only equential IO. This is important on work stations, but
actually not on servers.
The following is from the Bonnie++ man page:
"There are two sections to the program's operations. The first is to
test the IO throughput in a fashion that is designed to simulate some
types of database applications. The second is to test creation, reading
and deleting many small files in a fashion similar to the usage patterns
of programs such as Squid or INN."
So I guess the author thinks it's valid for more than sequential I/O.
In any case, while we may be in a minority, Justin, I and a few others
are interested in sequential I/O, as we build servers required to read
and write multiple streams of uncompressed SD and HD video in realtime.
