- Spawn 2 workers to stress test IO and timeout after 5 seconds:
`stress -i {{2}} -t {{5}}`
- Spawn 2 workers to stress test memory (each worker allocates 256M bytes):
`stress -m {{2}} --vm-bytes {{256M}}`
- Spawn 2 workers spinning on write()/unlink() (each worker writes 1G bytes):
`stress -d {{2}} --hdd-bytes {{1GB}}`
