Re: kernel work week of 3-Feb-2010 HEADS UP - TESTING & WARNINGS

[Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    Useful test cases (as a goal):

    * Serving a few large files.

    * Serving a lot of small files.

    * Improving write bandwidth in the face of a high number of read
      requests (blogbench).  i.e. serving reads from the swap cache
      in order to give writes more of the real HDs bandwidth.

    * NFS client-side data caching to reduce NFS server bandwidth.

    * NFS server-side data caching to improve services to clients.

    * Caching meta-data only to make find, ls, and other directory
      operations much faster.
