  • Rendered
  • Source

Assume location of fio is /bp/root/fio.

  • The example above taken verbatim will do 4 parallel jobs 32K IO, for 24 hours.
    # ln -fs /lib/libz.so.1 /lib/libz.so
    # zpool create -o cachefile=/etc/.zpools/spa_info -m /storage/p01 p01 $(iostat -en | awk '/c0t5000C/ {print $NF}'|xargs)
    # zfs create -p p01/test/d01
    # cd /storage/p01/test/01
    # vi fio.job
    # /bp/root/fio ./fio.job
