 SUMMARY="Bonnie++ is a benchmark and test suite for filesystems"
 DESCRIPTION="
-Bonnie++ is a benchmark suite that is aimed at performing a number of
-simple tests of hard drive and file system performance. Then you can
-decide which test is important and decide how to compare different
-systems after running it. I have no plans to ever have it produce a
-single number, because I don't think that a single number can be
-useful when comparing such things.
-
-The main program tests database type access to a single file (or a set
-of files if you wish to test more than 1G of storage), and it tests
-creation, reading, and deleting of small files which can simulate the
-usage of programs such as Squid, INN, or Maildir format email.
-
-The ZCAV program which I initially released as a seperate package
-tests the performance of different zones of a hard drive. It does not
-write any data (so you can use it on full file systems). It can show
-why comparing the speed of Windows at the start of a hard drive to
-Linux at the end of the hard drive (typical dual-boot scenario) isn't
-a valid comparison.
