Doug Barton 2fadfa2cfb For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.

PostMark is the benchmark used in the NetApp Technical Report TR-3022,
"PostMark: A New File System Benchmark". The paper fully explains how
to use this tool.
From the paper's Abstract:
Existing file system benchmarks are deficient in portraying
performance in the ephemeral small-file regime used by Internet
software, especially:
* electronic mail
* netnews
* web-based commerce
PostMark is a new benchmark to measure performance for this class of
application.
