FreeNAS disk benchmark

[jadams]

Googling lead me to diskinfo but I cant seem to get the syntax right. When I enter the syntax wrong it tells me to use

diskinfo [-ctv] disk...

i believe I'm failing on the disk part. I'm entering

diskinfo -t /mnt/volume0

volume0 being the name of the zfs volume. I've tried other combinations too but it always tells me its not a valid directory.

Where am I messing this mundane task up at?

I can't help you unfortunatly, however once you get it going, share the result with us

i use dd.

Also, you need to use diskinfo on a DRIVE, not a VOLUME. Another words, you cant use diskinfo to benchmark an array, only single disks.

try diskinfo -t (drive name, example ada0, da0, etc)

Thats what I was afraid of. I have no use for benchmarking single drives. I want to see how the array is. The error that I was specified a wrong drive or folder led me to believe I might be able to to run the test in a folder in the array. Guess not.
