How to use Phronix Test Suite ?

[Michael]

Hello,

I have a question! I want to make a filesystem-test like this here with btrfs, ext3, ext4,... but my problems are:

How can I change my filesystem without delete everything? Is it possible do make the benchmark test on a seperate harddisk?

can somebody help me?

Thanks for help!

See the documentation regarding make-download-cache and then editing ~/.phoronix-test-suite/user-config.xml to update the respective benchmark location.

What are you doing to try and run the tests?

If you used the installer, you just type:

phoronix-test-suite run <test-name>

I'm just waiting on a gui myself, to avoid all of this confusion. However, the .deb they have is dead easy to install, not sure why did you go the manual way.

I did the same no problem in install but the problem is in using .. btw check my Mandrva Spring Edition review

maybe he did not have an apt based distro. An the manual install is really easy :

tar xzvf pts0.xx.tar.gz
cd phoronix-test-suite
./install.sh

that's all it is. Not exactly difficult.

the benchmark is super-pi not super-p1. that could be your mistake.

Did you actually try and use the proper test installation method that I mentioned a few posts back? It is almost impossible to do it wrong.

Yep the same method no mistakes.. I was using Ubuntu but currently testing Mandriva. So though if this suite works for me then it would be gr8 if put some bechies on the review
