Hi Berni,
1.- Did you performed a minimal installation of Debian? Perhaps you did that and the documentation is missing. I'm running Debian 13 and I have two things:
i.- Man pages for bonnie++ as normal user, as:
man bonnie++
ii.- The resume for the command, using sudo:
luis@debiansrv:~$ sudo bonnie++ help
usage:
bonnie++ [-d scratch-dir] [-c concurrency] [-s size(MiB)[:chunk-size(b)]]
[-n number-to-stat[:max-size[:min-size][:num-directories[:chunk-size]]]]
[-m machine-name] [-r ram-size-in-MiB]
[-x number-of-tests] [-u uid-to-use:gid-to-use] [-g gid-to-use]
[-q] [-f] [-b] [-p processes | -y] [-z seed | -Z random-file]
[-D]Note: in this case there isn't a separate package for the documentation.
2.- In case you don't have the documentation, you can install it as follows:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install man-db manpagesRegards,

Hi Berni,
1.- Let's check if bonnie++ is installed on your system:
luis@debiansrv:~$ dpkg -l | grep bonnie
ii bonnie++ 2.00a+nmu3 amd64 Hard drive benchmark suiteIf not, install it:
sudo install bonnie++
I see you have an issue with the repositories, you need to solve that.
2.- Are you running any IoT system here? I mean if you are using any specific distro for embedded systems.

Hi Luis,
of course with su - also the bonnie++ help command functions..thanks again.
Regarding the repository issue..IoT System??...embedded system??. can you specify that?.
The System is Debian GNU/Linux12(bookworm)
Than i run BOXES on the System with an ALMALinux 10 and an openSUSE tumbleweed Virtual Machine.I will install Debian 13 Trixie as you recommended..
Thanks again for supporting my Linux Admin Skills!!
Best regards

Hi Berni,
I'm glad it worked with 'su -'! Between distros there are few differences. Even between releases of the same distro as we can see here.
Regarding the repository issue..IoT System??...embedded system??. can you specify that?.
Yes, it's a specific OS for specific purposes (embedded systems are used in electronic devices and it uses a very small OS) and usually it has a reduced number of packages.
I will install Debian 13 Trixie as you recommended..
Yes, that will help. And I'm glad that you are progressing

Many regards,
