[Disksim-users] help for the construction of raid 5 in disksim and the way of trace acquisition

[fei fei]

question 1 :    i have read the manul ,and i want to use the disksim to
simulate a raid 5 system about reading and writing.
            in the manual ,i find that the parameter concerned with raid 5
is "redundancy scheme "in the section "disk array date organization" of the
manual
           and  i find  the file synthraid5.parv in the "valid" folder of
the disksim source code .however i can not find the configuration about raid
5 in                     the file.
            *how do the disksim make the data  stored in the way of raid 5?*
            *if i will reach my purpose ,which one in the "src" folder  of
the disksim source code should i change ??*

question 2 :     in a paper i find that the author use the trace of the
software " cpp ,andrew benchmark and wc"as a input to disksim
            [The C preprocessor (cpp) is the preprocessor for the C
programming language. ]
            [The Andrew benchmark is used to compare BFS with two other file
systems]
            [The wc command stands for " word count ]
            *how can i get the trace of the software ? utilise some tool??*
