IOZONE: Performance Test of Sequential File I/O -- V2.01 (10/21/94) By Bill Norcott Operating System: FreeBSD 2.x -- using fsync() Send comments to: b_norcott@xway.com IOZONE writes a 200 Megabyte sequential file consisting of 409600 records which are each 512 bytes in length. It then reads the file. It prints the bytes-per-second rate at which the computer can read and write files. Writing the 200 Megabyte file, 'iozone.tmp'...55.039062 seconds Reading the file...50.656250 seconds IOZONE performance measurements: 3810297 bytes/second for writing the file 4139966 bytes/second for reading the file
