In simple file system [[benchmark (computing)|benchmark]]s, the fragmentation factor is often omitted, as realistic aging and fragmentation is difficult to model. Rather, for simplicity of comparison, file system benchmarks are often run on empty file systems, and unsurprisingly, the results may vary heavily from real-life access patterns.<ref name=workload-benchmarks>{{cite paper |author=Keith Arnold Smith |date=2001-01 |title=Workload-Specific File System Benchmarks |publisher=[[Harvard University]] |url=http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/vino/fs-perf/papers/keith_a_smith_thesis.pdf |format=[[PDF]] |accessdate=2006-12-14 }}</ref>
