[Yaffs-archive] Re: benchmark yaffs with Bonnie++

As I mentioned, I have modified bonnie++ to create just 256 files in a
directory to do the test. After the test failed, I think,
nTnodesCreated..... 300
did not reflect the fact. I have counted the files, there were 256 files
indeed. But the sequential deletion test failed.
I think all the files specified by bonnie++ was created. My board has 64M
memory, and when testing no other programs were running. I think memory is
sufficient, if you think yaffs failed to allocate memory due to lack of
memory, when creating files.

I have no signature.
