This benchmark assesses the performance of the Virtual File System (VFS) in the Linux kernel, specifically focusing on sequential and block-oriented file operations. The benchmark includes tests for sequential reading, block reading, sequential writing, and block writing to evaluate the efficiency and speed of these fundamental file system operations.
-
Sequential Reading: Evaluate the performance of sequential reading operations on the file system.
-
Block Reading: Measure the speed of block-oriented reading operations.
-
Sequential Writing: Assess the performance of sequential writing operations to the file system.
-
Block Writing: Measure the speed of block-oriented writing operations.
