Notes from a Linux/Unix Engineer

Disk/Filesystem benchmarking

Posted on Tue, Dec 30, 2025 at 16:23 by Hubertus A. Haniel

Note to self at the moment until I have more details on what I am actually trying to prove:

To test performance on file systems I have used the following command:

fio --name=rand --rw=randrw --bs=4k --iodepth=32 --numjobs=16 --runtime=600 --time_based --size=1G --directory=/filesystem
iozone -Rac -b test.xls is also something I am experimenting it but don't really understand the output of that yet.

Another tool that has been around for a long time is bonnie++ but I am not sure if it is still maintained
