Hi Greg,
Thanks.
I have no idea. I have never heard of it before. On reading about it
just now, I'd suppose it would be routinely used by system/network
administrators, but I ain't one of those. I'm a programmer.
I will study it in the morning to see first how to use it and then if
it will answer my questions.
Thanks
Ted

Will fio do what you want. I think it is in 12.3. I know it will be in 13.1 and it is in the build service.

Now, both servers have decently high capacity SSD drives (as the only drive in the machine), and I would like to measure the speed with which each server can save data to the NAS. Theoretically, that speed ought to be about 1 gbps, as tht is the best each of the nics in my varius systems, and my router and switches, support. But, being the paranoid sort that I am, I want to actually measure that speed if I can.
What I have found so far, using Google, are a few articles that either state that the speed will be 1 gbps, or that say there is software that will measure it, but I have yet to find info about what software can be used for the purpose on either Suse or Ubuntu.
Ideally, I'd like to run a couple tests on each, and then ensure there is nothing left on the drive after the test.
So, when I start YaST, what program ought I look for? Or do I have to search for open source software not available via yaST.
Thanks
Ted
