28                          fies  the  directory  or  directories  in  which the
29                          results are stored.

38                      o      what workloads to run,
39
40                      o      what parameters to run,
41
42                      o      the directory path on which to operate, and
43

EXAMPLES

60       Example 1 Running the Multi-stream Sequential Read Workload
61
62
63       The following example runs the workloads described in the configuration
64       file named sqread.prof:
65
66
67         # filebench sqread
68
69
70
71       Example 2 Comparing Multiple Runs
72
73
74       The following example compares the results of two previous runs.
75
76
77
78       This example assumes that the results from the two  previous  filebench
79       runs   were   located   in   the  directories:  /stats/wombat-zfs-noel-
80       Jun_27_2007-15h_45m_33s           and           /stats/wombat-ufs-noel-
81       Jun_27_2007-15h_52m_11s.
82
83
84
85       This  example  generates  a  HTML file named index.html in your current
86       working directory.
87
88
89         # filebench -c /stats/wombat-zfs-noel-Jun_27_2007-15h_45m_33s \
