About
bonnie++ is an open source tool that can be used for testing the hard drives(storage devices) and filesystem for performance. Supports-
- Command line options to specify number of files, file size to be used in performance tests.
- Option to enable fsync() after every write to avoid any write buffering.
- Performance numbers for create, write, rewrite, read, sequential read/writes and random read/writes.

Cross compiling
- Cross compilation command - make CXX=$(TOOL_CHAIN_PREFIX)-g++
- The TOOL_CHAIN_PREFIX corresponds to the tool chain in use. Set this based on your tool chain. Also make path to toolchain is exported as part of $PATH.
Test setup
- EVM booted up with NFS configuration.
- Connect a MMC/SD card to the MMC/SD slot of the EVM.
- Format the card with vfat and ext2 partitions.
- Mount and run the performance test on the card with VFAT and ext2 partitions.
Execution
./bonnie++ -d /tmp/foo/ -u root -s 1 -r 0.5 -n 1
NOTE-
- -d scratch-dir : Write scratch file in named directory (default: "."). Filesystem must be large enough to accomodate the size of the working file.
- -s size-in-Mb : how many Mb to use for testing (default: 100)
- -n : Number of files to use for test
- -r : system memory(ram size).
