Using the Phoronix Test Suite in live mode

Posted by on 2012/05/19 1 comment

The size of the root file system in a live mode are limited, files from Phoronix Test Suite should be located on an external source.

1.    Mount the external or internal drive, usb flash drive or network file system.

mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt

2.  Create a directory named pts, or any other name of your choice, user gog should have the read and write permission  in this directory.

mkdir /mnt/pts
chmod 777 /mnt/pts

3.   Make a symbolic link from  the directory we created to  /home/ gog/.phoronix-test-suite.

ls -s /mnt/pts /home/gog/phoronix-test-suite

4.   Now you can run phoronix-test-suite, if you do not delete the folder you created the data and cache tests can be reused the next time,  just  repeat step 1 and 3.

Some graphical “bonuses” with new shader compiler:
Lightmark does not render a model of the robot.

Unigine Heaven shows this.

ET:QW receives a segmentation fault.
