Hello all,
Jens, first off, thank you for creating such an excellent tool.
I am interested in testing the network to disk performance on a
certain machine. I know I can benchmark each interface individually,
but I'm specifically after how fast data can be read from one
interface and pushed to the other.
Is fio suitable for such a test? I think it should be possible if I
can specify an endpoint on the target device, but specifying a
directory and filename to results in an error stating "fio: hostname
not valid for inbound network IO". My conf file looks something like
this:
[global]
ioengine=net
port=[server-ip-port, 6000 in this case]
protocol=tcp
size=16g
[server] # device being written to
listen
filename=test.out
directory=${HOME}/target-disk-mounted-here
rw=read
[client] # device sending packets
rw=write
startdelay=1
hostname=[server-ip-address; 192.168.1.2 in this case]
Thank you for your time!
Best regards,
Ben
