Disk read and write speed.
Being a novice user to linux i m little unaware of how would i check disk read write speed.
One of my mate is suggesting to create a file using dd command and check how much time it takes to create a 30 gb file .
I think this has a little sense however i would also like to take your reviews about the same.
This is how i m going to test the write speed.
'For write
This will create a 30 gb file in X seconds.
by calculating Diskspace in kb / Second i will get the actual write speed in kb/s .
Code:
Quote:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/share/test.out bs=4096 count=7864320

If a file size increases in Linux/UNIX to say in GB's then will there be a decrease in write speed.
I mean will it take more time to write to a large file then to a small one??
Please clarify?
Thanks in advance (2 Replies)

Hi,
We have smb client running on two of the linux boxes and smb server on another linux system. During a backup operation which uses smb, read of a file was allowed while write to the same file was going on.Also simultaneous writes to the same file were allowed.Following are the settings in the...

Would simply like to write data (no audio) to a CD/RW disk. The disk drive states CD/RW on the front but don't know for sure if the software is configured to recognize it as a writable disk. I can read/move data from the disk to the hard drive with no issue from the disk. Any help in this... (4 Replies)

I am now on Kernel 2.6.32-26
For me 16x CD write speed is okay.
I have old hardware which was able to write DVDs at 1x, back in previous linux version.
Now, I dont get speed of less than 4x.
Tested on k3b, xfburn, and brasero. But all start at bottom 4x write speed. k3b forced back to... (0 Replies)

hi all:
as we know , when usb flash disk plug in and aotu mounted , the default permission of the usb flash disk is 700. that means others have no permission . the question: how to make others have read/write permission when the aotu mounted usb flash disk pluge in ? thanks !! (0 Replies)

Hi,
We have two servers in scenario (vmsoldot01 is Oracle VM with Linux and tldtppod15 is physical Linux server). One NAS share is mounted on both servers with similar permissions and access. But READ speed is too bad on virtual in comparison to physical server.

Hello All,
I am building a real time parser for a log file in my application.
The log file is continuously written at a very fast pace and gets rolled over every 10 minutes.
I have measured the speed and observed that around 1000 lines are written to it every second, each line about 30-40... (7 Replies)

SPEED(1SSL) OpenSSL SPEED(1SSL)
NAME
openssl-speed, speed - test library performance
SYNOPSIS
openssl speed [-help] [-engine id] [-elapsed] [-evp algo] [-decrypt] [-rand file...] [-writerand file] [-primes num] [-seconds num]
[-bytes num] [algorithm...]
DESCRIPTION
This command is used to test the performance of cryptographic algorithms. To see the list of supported algorithms, use the list
--digest-commands or list --cipher-commands command. The global CSPRNG is denoted by the rand algorithm name.
OPTIONS
-help
Print out a usage message.
-engine id
Specifying an engine (by its unique id string) will cause speed to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default for all available algorithms.
-elapsed
When calculating operations- or bytes-per-second, use wall-clock time instead of CPU user time as divisor. It can be useful when
testing speed of hardware engines.
-evp algo
Use the specified cipher or message digest algorithm via the EVP interface. If algo is an AEAD cipher, then you can pass <-aead> to
benchmark a TLS-like sequence. And if algo is a multi-buffer capable cipher, e.g. aes-128-cbc-hmac-sha1, then -mb will time multi-
buffer operation.
-decrypt
Time the decryption instead of encryption. Affects only the EVP testing.
-rand file...
A file or files containing random data used to seed the random number generator. Multiple files can be specified separated by an OS-
dependent character. The separator is ; for MS-Windows, , for OpenVMS, and : for all others.
[-writerand file]
Writes random data to the specified file upon exit. This can be used with a subsequent -rand flag.
-primes num
Generate a num-prime RSA key and use it to run the benchmarks. This option is only effective if RSA algorithm is specified to test.
-seconds num
Run benchmarks for num seconds.
-bytes num
Run benchmarks on num-byte buffers. Affects ciphers, digests and the CSPRNG.
[zero or more test algorithms]
If any options are given, speed tests those algorithms, otherwise a pre-compiled grand selection is tested.
