Hi,
I was wondering whether there is any tool in linux that can be used to simulate a slow file system ? I would need this to test the application I am working on, since some customers are not using fast machines (some are even using Windows with encrypted file systems). I would add such a tool to the very nice set of tools on linux like valgrind, sysprof and memprof...
While we are at it, any way to simulate a slow network ?
Thanks in advance Emmanuel
Slow network: I'd think you can tell most network cards to run in 100Base-T or 10Base-T. ifconfig eth0 media 10baseT ? Slow disk: run using Xen or KVM? I'm not sure how much control you have over the resources allocated, but I'd think slowing the processor would go some way to simulating a system with a slow hard disk as it would impact data transfer rates. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
