Overview
Runs hdparm -t, seeker and Nates dd script.
By default each test is run 3 times to get a good running average.
Outputs are cleaned up to provide usable information
For Nates dd test you will need to have the drive mounted and listed in fstab
Script
[javascript,n]
- !/bin/bash
testpath=`grep $1 /etc/fstab | awk '{print $2}'` testcount=3
echo "Testing hdparm -t $1" for i in `seq 1 $testcount`; do hdparm -t $1 | grep "Timing" done
echo "Testing seeker $1" for i in `seq 1 $testcount`; do seeker $1 | grep "Results" done
echo "Testing DD pv" for i in `seq 1 $testcount`; do sync echo "Write Test" dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=2048 2>/dev/null | pv | dd of=$testpath/ddfile 2>/dev/null | awk '{print $1" "$2" "$3}'
sync echo "Read Test" cat $testpath/ddfile | pv > /dev/null | awk '{print $1" "$2" "$3}'
rm -f $testpath/ddfile done
Usage
[bash,n]
sh hdtest <drive path>
What to change
testcount This should be set to the number of times you want this test to run.
