Help - looking for IO test tools

[Lee Xing]

Hi,

Sorry, this post may be a bit off topic.

Just wondering if there are any IO test tools like IOMeter, with which we can select different parameters (IO size, percentage of read/write, percentage of sequential/random, etc.) and see the IO rate (MB/sec) and num of IO/sec with the selected parameters.

IOMeter is okay but we have to use an extra Windows machine to run it.  If we can find a self-contained IO test tool for Linux, that would be very helpful.

Thanks,


Lee

IOmeter is available for Linux, too.  Does it still need an extra
Windows machine?  or maybe for analysis?

current iometer still need a windows machine as a console. but we have
plan to get rid of that console sometime later.
