There are several tooling recommendations on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Benchmarking
dd
+ iostat
https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Linux_I/O_Performance_Tests_using_dd is a guide to testing with dd
.
https://linuxreviews.org/HOWTO_Test_Disk_I/O_Performance claims dd
is misleading and you should use fio
instead.
Anything we come up with here could be applied to data.neuro.polymtl.ca
too
@kousu do we have an initial plan for testing the HCI on duke?
No. The plan is to try running some of those tools above. That's as far as I've gotten.
Test over VPN, mount made with AFP from OSX 11.2.1 (20D74):
HCI:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/Volumes/histology/test_HCI/tempfile bs=1m count=1024
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes transferred in 215.865430 secs (4974126 bytes/sec)
Old duke (/temp partition):
dd if=/dev/zero of=/Volumes/temp/test_HCI/tempfile bs=1m count=1024
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes transferred in 216.610216 secs (4957023 bytes/sec)
From joplin:
HCI:
(base) alfoi@joplin:~/duke/histology/test_HCI$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/GRAMES.POLYMTL.CA/alfoi/duke/histology/test_HCI/tempfile bs=1M count=1024 conv=fdatasync,notrunc status=progress
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 21.532 s, 49.9 MB/s
Old duke (/temp partition):
(base) alfoi@joplin:~/duke/histology/test_HCI$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/GRAMES.POLYMTL.CA/alfoi/duke/temp/test_HCI/tempfile bs=1M count=1024 conv=fdatasync,notrunc status=progress
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 11.3426 s, 94.7 MB/s
Test with smaller files.
@kousu @taowa could you please try to see if you have WR permissions on duke/histology in order do more testing on the volume? you can try to write in /duke/histology/test_HCI
Just checked- I have access to it through my membership in neuropoly_admin.

Great news. @kousu Listed above some options. I think we need to put in place a script/procedure to properly compare the WR speed on duke
.
We need to test the WR difference between:
duke/temp
(this share point is on a physical volume on duke
)
duke/histology
(this share point is on a HCI volume that is mounted on duke
)
@kousu I feel like we can close this issue.
We are unsure about performance of our storage system. We want to measure I/O performance to duke.neuro.polymtl.ca.
There are several factors:
