Test cases for file system mount/umount performance in HP

UNIX HP-UX
1

Hi Folks,

Could anyone please assist me with the what could be the scenarios to test the file system mount/umount performance check in HPUX.

Thanks in advance,
Vaishey

I'm not sure what does a performance of mount / umount means.

umount or mount will umount or mount the filesystems.

As for testing filesystem/disks performance, i recommend iozone

How long umount takes will mostly depend on how much data remains to be written to the filesystem.

Thanks.
I am aware of some of the performance benchmarking tools like iozone but just want to know if there are any manual tests i can do so as to pinpoint the exact problem causing area.
Open source benchmarking tools gives me in general idea of performance degradation but they didn't point out the exact area.

I am in need of manual test scenarios so that it would be easy. eg Having more amount of data on the file system would affect the file system check and mount time.

Are you actually having a problem, or just looking for hypothetical ones?

No i don't consider this as a problem but this is an important area from file system perspective where performance measurement is a challenge hence i am gathering opinions in this regard.
