Test file storage performance
Test file storage performance
For your information
This is a tutorial with an example of testing file storage performance on a cloud server.
To fully test file storage performance (throughput values and read and write limits in IOPS), use the following utility fio
.
Test results can be compared to expected performance, which depends on the file storage type. The values can be viewed in the table File storage limits.
1. Install the fio utility
-
Open the CLI.
-
Install the utility
fio
:sudo apt update
sudo apt install fio
2. Test performance
Can be used for:
- IOPS limit testing — random write or read in 4KB blocks;
- capacity testing — random write or read in 4 MB blocks.
