Also consider using Andrew Tridgell's dbench/tbench/smbtorture suite in this process: it is mathmeatically comparable to NetBench, runs on smaller numbers of load-generationg machines, and can give better breakdowns into the disk component, then network component and the on-server component of the available performance. I also have some results from SPARC Linux: send me email. --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right. This will gratify Performance & Engineering Team | some people and astonish the rest.
