|
|

From the paper's Abstract:
|
|
|
|
|
Existing file system benchmarks are deficient in portraying
|
|
|
|
|
performance in the ephemeral small-file regime used by Internet
|
|
|
|
|
software, especially:
|
|
|
|
|
* electronic mail
|
|
|
|
|
* netnews
|
|
|
|
|
* web-based commerce
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PostMark is a new benchmark to measure performance for this class of
|
|
|
|
|
application.
