Intro to a tool I hadn’t heard of before <https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/02/how-fast-are-your-disks-find-out-the-open-source-way-with-fio/>, but for which standard packages are available for Debian and derivatives. Lets you do all kinds of performance tests on your persistent storage (disks, SSDs), including hammering them with multiple concurrent I/O requests. Also I see Debian has “gfio”, which is a GUI front end based on GTK. (Just a quick *sigh* to see someone else use the old cliché of referring to magnetic media as “rust”. FYI, rust isn’t magnetic.)
We should probably say asynchronous io (aio) moreso than concurrent, I think. Everything like this is a libaio wrapper, right? You can roll your own too (* fifty million gotchas). On Fri, Feb 7, 2020 at 12:27 PM Lawrence D'Oliveiro <ldo(a)geek-central.gen.nz> wrote:
