[plug] File System Types ?

[Bruce M. Axtens]

If anyone in PLUG wanted to do their own testing, a recently released 
tool, with its own DSL (domain specific language), called Rugg 
<http://rugg.sourceforge.net/> might be the go.

The blurb on the site says, "Rugg is a hard drive and filesystem 
harness tool that allows you to test and benchmark drives and 
filesystems, by writing simple to complex scenarios that can mimic the 
behaviour of real-world applications.

What makes Rugg special is that it can be easily customized to test 
specific usages of the filesystem. Initially, Rugg was made to test new 
database server harddrives intended to host a Postgres database. The 
goal was to enable to simulate the way the database used the hard drive.

Rugg sports a simple and expressive domain specific language designed 
from the start to be compact and versatile. Have a look at for more."

Regards,
Bruce.
