+ost-survey.pl (OST performance survey)
+======================================
+       This script is designed to test the client-to-disk performance 
+of the individual OSTs in a Lustre filesystem.  The network transfer 
+time from the client is included; to get a better idea of the isolated
+disk perfomance, run this script on a client running on the OST.
+       
+Syntax:
+       $ ost-survey [-h] [-s <size>] <lustre_path>
+       where              -s : size in MB
+                          -h : help
+               <lustre_path> : mount point of lustre client
+
+Assumptions
+       - Lustre filesystem is up and running
+       - Script is being run on a client
+
+
+plot-ost.pl (OST survey graph)
+======================================
+       The plot-ost.pl script can be used to plot the results from the
+ost-survey script using gnuplot.
+
+Syntax: $ ost-survey /mnt/lustre > ost_log
+       $ plot-ost.pl ost_log
+
