Thanks Brandon- I was completely unaware that you could do that !!  This
is very helpful info.

Orion does support filesystems and has done so for years.  All you have
to do is create a file that is a multiple of the block size you'll be
testing, e.g.:

 

Create a 4GB file:

 

dd if=/dev/zero of=/u01/oracle/mytest.dbf bs=8k count=524288

 

Then, put this file in your test.lun file:

 

>cat mytest.lun

/u01/oracle/mytest.dbf

 

Then, run orion:

 

orion -run simple -testname mytest -num_disks 1

 

Regards,

Brandon

I just wish Orion would support filesystems rather than raw devices-
