To Replay the traces available in this directory, follow these steps: 1. Download Tracefs. 2. Untar the trace into /tmp 3. Goto directory and issue $ make all where is the directory containing tracefs. 4. Goto utils/pre_comp and pre compile the downloaded trace by issuing $./doit.sh You may need to appropriately set $DIR in the doit.sh file. 5. Change to replayfs and issue $./doit.sh to replay the pre compiled trace. You may need to appropriately set $DIR and $REPLAY_DIR in the doit.sh file.
