Ved,

What is the status of your upcoming release? Would you say WorkingBranch_Q2_2010 is mostly stable?

Hi Ben,

For the benefit of the others on this distribution, and per our offline discussion, we can consider merging your code after we have completed the next major build. This will hopefully be in a few weeks.

Thanks,
Ved

Iometer developers,

I work for a company called SandForce. We are in the storage industry and have found Iometer very useful in assessing the performance of our products in the lab. We have added a few features to our internal version of Iometer that we’d like to contribute back to the main source tree, should you find them useful. Specifically, we have improved Iometer’s ability to simulate “real” disk load by capturing disk activity during such tasks as installing an operating system or running a database server, and then giving Iometer the ability to “play back” these loads from an input file.

How should I proceed with regards to getting your input on these changes? Shall I generate a patch against your top-of-trunk source, and we can proceed from there?

Thanks,

Ben
