That will be inaccurate because of cache... stuff written to disk just gets shoved into memory until the disk's ready. 30 gigs would probably fill the cache, but still, there's better ways that don't involve waiting for 30 gigs of data to be written.
Linux usually has the hdparm command. It has read tests that take just a few seconds:
There's no equivalent write-speed test but, for a traditional hard disk, read speed and write speed should be about the same.
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,

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,
I went to a computer store and the salesman sold me a SATA cable and told me that all SATA cables are the same. Another salesman at a different store told me a cable rated for SATA 2, which I bought, MIGHT work as well as one rate for SATA 3 but it is not guaranteed. I decided to run a... (3 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.
While trying to diagnose this, I... (2 Replies)
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)

debugfs_create_bool
DEBUGFS_CREATE_BOOL(9) The debugfs filesystem DEBUGFS_CREATE_BOOL(9)NAME
debugfs_create_bool - create a debugfs file that is used to read and write a boolean value
SYNOPSIS
struct dentry * debugfs_create_bool(const char * name, mode_t mode, struct dentry * parent, u32 * value);
ARGUMENTS
name
a pointer to a string containing the name of the file to create.
mode
the permission that the file should have
parent
a pointer to the parent dentry for this file. This should be a directory dentry if set. If this parameter is NULL, then the file will
be created in the root of the debugfs filesystem.
value
a pointer to the variable that the file should read to and write from.
DESCRIPTION
This function creates a file in debugfs with the given name that contains the value of the variable value. If the mode variable is so set,
it can be read from, and written to.
This function will return a pointer to a dentry if it succeeds. This pointer must be passed to the debugfs_remove function when the file is
to be removed (no automatic cleanup happens if your module is unloaded, you are responsible here.) If an error occurs, NULL will be
returned.
If debugfs is not enabled in the kernel, the value -ENODEV will be returned. It is not wise to check for this value, but rather, check for
NULL or !NULL instead as to eliminate the need for #ifdef in the calling code.
