Benchmarking tools

Post by nicks88 »

Hi all,

Quick question - what tools can I use (3rd party on inbuilt) in N4F that will give me an accurate view on the performance of my ZFS storage pool?

I see some threads on quoted performance, but not sure how users are obtaining these figures.

Thanks

Testing a pools speed is quite easy using the command line and "dd". For example:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/pool/testfile bs=2048k count=10k
will just write zeros to the file "testfile" in the pool named "pool" with block size of 2mb for 10000 blocks.
