NFS benchmark program posted

[Russel Sandberg]

Submitted to comp.sources.unix and available for anonymous FTP
from bugs.cs.wisc.edu in pub/nhfsstone/nhfsstone.shar:

nhfsstone is a NFS load generating program. It is used on an NFS
client to generate an artificial load with a particular mix of NFS
operations. It reports the average response time of the server in
milliseconds per call and the load in calls per second.  The program
adjusts its calling patterns based on the client's kernel NFS
statistics and the elapsed time.  Load can be generated over a given
time or number of NFS calls.  This version of the program can only be
compiled on 4.x BSD based UNIX systems.

The files included with the source:

	DISCLAIMER	legal requirements
	Makefile	Makefile used to build nhfsstone
	README		General information

This program is provided free of charge to anyone who wants it provided
