I dont see a binary or source for it anywhere! Can you please point me to where it is avilable? IoMeter source is available on sourceforge.net. I compiled the dynamo for Linux from there.You can spcify the IP of the machine which will run the GUI as a command line param to the dynamo as in: dynamo IPaddressOfMachineRunningIoMeter Run the dynamo on the Linux machine as specified above, the GUI(Iometer.exe itself!) on the Windows machine, and they should establish a connection. Once the GUI and the dynamo are up and connected, you will see disks on your Linux machine on the GUI running on Windows, and can run tests as you normally do! --- "Randy.Dunlap" wrote: > On Fri, 2 Aug 2002, Mukul Kotwani wrote: > > | Running IOMeter against the Qlogic with IBM 15kRPM > | JBODS, Im getting: > | > | 1) For 512 byte 100%random reads, I get *just* 260 > | IOPs per sec.On Windows with IOMeter, I get about > 7000 > | foir the same config. > | > | 2) For 512k 100%sequential reads, I see 30MB per > sec. > | Windows gives 85MB/sec > | > | I see the similar performance with my driver on > Linux. > | I dont know whyit is so low, cannot be that low as > | compared to windws, a few MB/sec or a few hundred > IOPs > | per sec difference is OK, but this difference is > TOO > | huge.
