dbench and tbench simulate the load of the netbench “industry standard” benchmark used to rate (windows) file servers. Unlike netbench, they do not require a lab of Microsoft Windows PCs: dbench produces the filesystem load on a netbench run, and tbench produces the network load, allowing simpler bottleneck isolation.

Note that this benchmark is not a realistic reflection of normal server load.
