tiobench
Tiobench is a benchmark designed to test your filesystem with a multithreaded workload.
Usage
The simplest way to run tiobench is to run
./tiotest
This will run the benchmark with default values. With the -h option you get a list of all the parameters you can tweak. Another simple way to get a more thorough test, is to run the tiobench.pl script.
Example Output
Just running
./tiotest
will result in this output:
