Despite the fact that this is not a well formulated question.
Exactly why it's hard to give a good answer. It *really* depends on what aspect you're interested in - I/O bandwidth, throughput, latency, or other. What I currently do at $DAYJOB is worry how fast I can get a cluster of servers to flip blocks to and from disk to 40Gbit network interfaces, and we've found a combo of iozone's and 'tar xf linux-2.6.32.tar.gz' running at the same time is a good stand-in for our production workload.
Of course, your mileage will vary. :)
Iozone is fine and I think you give me a good reason to turn my eyes into it again . I decided not to check it due to the fact that is a micro bench and sometimes users want numbers of something they can feel ( how fast can I de compres , how many transactions per second can my DB manage , how fast can I build my product ) I was answering in Greg mail , that it might be good to came with a BKM of tests for the kernel , a list of linked test ( if you move this you will affect that , please test before commit ) , it might be just an initial idea but sure for industry might be something helpful Feedback more than welcome Regards Victor Rodriguez
