SMB2/SMB3 workloads for testing. (smbtorture?)

In recent years, we've set the MIN Protocol to SMB2, in production, but I
had not been running that way in my lab.
Since, I have been using smbtorture and bench.nbench to simulate
workloads, things broke when I made the change to Min Protocol.
I'm getting "Failed to open connection -
NT_STATUS_INVALID_NETWORK_RESPONSE". I'm thinking either I don't know the
magic combination of switches, or I'm going to have to change the code a
bit. Fully expecting right now, that a different loadfile is needed, as
well. (Unless I'm mistaken)
I found two conference presentations in with the SambaXP stuff, but not
sure that I fully grok things, yet. My understanding is that nbench is
just replaying packets previously captured using one of the VFS modules.
I would appreciate any advice for generating a representative SMB2/SMB3
workload, hopefully smbtorture.
Regards,
Chris
PS: I'm also looking at dbench, as well, but I having a little trouble
compiling it on a RHEL7 desktop. Wading through that, right now, as well.
