Hi Jean-Pierre,

While it may be to late for the purposes of your OLS paper, one thing 
that doesn't seem to be getting much attention is the performance of a 
file system while doing many meta-data operations or throughput testing 
during heavy journal log activity.  I believe that IOzone is very 
limited in testing this and FFSB isn't much better at it either.  
Eventually, I plan to add support in FFSB to create workload profile 
were one can select a weight balance of these types of operations.

Is this something that you are already doing for this round of testing?
