On 6.2 STABLE GENERIC, I have set up RAID0 using gstripe on two SATA=20
drives and installed benchmarks/raidtest for testing.
The array is known as /dev/stripe/data.
These were my steps:
# export mediasize=3D`diskinfo /dev/stripe/data | awk '{print $3}'`
# export sectorsize=3D`diskinfo /dev/stripe/data | awk '{print $2}'`
# raidtest genfile -s $mediasize -S $sectorsize -n 50000
# ls

Looks like the gstripe label (/dev/stripe/data) is not available=20
somehow. =A0Is there any known workaround?

Port info:
This utility can be used to test performance of storage devices.
=46irst, one need to generate file with I/O operations:
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 # set mediasize=3D`diskinfo /dev/<device> | awk '{print $3}=
'`
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 # set sectorsize=3D`diskinfo /dev/<device> | awk '{print $2=
}'`
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 # raidtest genfile -s $mediasize -S $sectorsize -n 50000
It will generate test which contains 50000 I/O requests with random
size and random offset. Size is a multiple of sectorsize, but less than=20
or
equal to 128kB (maxium size of I/O request). I/O request type (READ or=20
WRITE)
is random as well.
All test data are stored in 'raidtest.data' file in current working=20
directory.
To run test, one should type:
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 # raidtest test -d /dev/<device> -n 10
This command will read test data from 'raidtest.data' file, run 10=20
processes
which will be used to send requests to the given device in parallel.
When test is finished you will see statistics:
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 Bytes per second: <x>
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 Requests per second: <y>
If you compare performance of two storage devices, use the same data=20
file!
