+ .Sh NAME
+ .Nm bonnie
+ .Nd Performance Test of Filesystem I/O
+ .Sh SYNOPSIS
+ .Nm bonnie
+ .Op Fl d Ar scratch-dir
+ .Op Fl s Ar size-in-MB
+ .Op Fl m Ar machine-label
+ 
+ .Sh DESCRIPTION
+ .Nm Bonnie 
+ tests the speed of file I/O from standard C library calls.
+ It reads and writes 8KB blocks to find the maximum sustained 
+ data rate (usually limited by the drive or controller) and additionally 
+ rewrites the file (better simulating normal operating conditions and 
+ quite dependent on drive and OS optimisations).
+ 
+ The per character read and write tests are generally limited by CPU speed
+ only on current generation hardware. It takes some 35 SPECint92 to read
+ or write a file at a rate of 1MB/s using getc() and putc().
+ 
+ The seek test results depend on the buffer cache size, since the fraction
+ of disk blocks that fits into the buffer cache will be found without any 
+ disk operation and will contribute zero seek time samples.
+ (See 
+ .Sx BUGS 
+ below.)
+ 
+ .Sh OPTIONS
+ .Bl -tag -width indent
+ .It Fl d Ar scratch-dir
+ Specify the directory where the test file gets written. The default 
+ is the current directory. Make sure there is sufficient free space 
+ available on the partition this directory resides in.
+ .It Fl s Ar size-in-MB
+ Specify the size of the test file in MByte. This much space must be 
+ available for the tests to complete.
+ .It Fl m Ar machine-label
+ Specify a label to be written in the first column of the result table.

+ 
+ .Sh BUGS
+ .Nm Bonnie 
+ tries hard to measure disk performance and not the quality of the 
+ buffer cache implementation. In merged buffer caches common today,
+ the buffer cache size is often only limited by total RAM on an otherwise
+ unloaded system. Be sure to use a file at least twice at large as 
+ available RAM to protect against artificially high results.
+ 
+ There is no way to keep the buffer cache from increasing the reported
+ seek rate. This is because the fraction of accesses corresponding to the 
+ amount of the file cached, will be done without seeks.
+ If your buffer cache is half the size of the file used, then half the 
+ requests will be satisfied immediately, and and the seek rate printed 
+ will be twice the actual value.
