bonnie++-1.97.3/ bonnie++-1.97.3.1/
I'm confused as the why its creating an empty directory of 1.97.3.1 and trying to apply patches in there while the archive extracts to 1.97.3. Why are 2 directories being created?
Not sure what Makefile you're referring to as the newest and to my knowledge broken version of bonnie++ is 1.79. You might also want to consider fio instead which is also in the repo.
