Im not at all sure its worth touching, and I should probably change the defaults to add histogram, and drop quiet. -h implies -s (its just easier that way) -- needed by testsuite/*/run scripts, not by xeno-test. I dont recall every using it. BUGS -N name is timestamped, giving uniqueness. This is a caveat, not a bug -p oops. Im open to suggestions whether this is worth fixing. (workload mgmt) workload tasks arent always (ever?) restarted once they finish, so a real /dev/hda1 workload may end before your test does, causing non-uniform & unexpected load variations. workloads arent always killed if test is interrupted. thanks, jimc
