Performance testing RAID

November 11th, 2009 Arthur Gressick No comments

So after I setup the big RAID I ran some tests on the storage. Here are some commands, make sure you have at least 17GB space available for testing this. Once you run the command look at the time and throughput.

WRITE FILE

dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/<mount point>/testfile bs=4194304 count=4096

READ FILE

dd of=/dev/null if=/mnt/<mount point>/testfile bs=4194304 count=4096
