Hello,<br />
I have a 16disk server with the disks setup in a raid 0. These run to a hardware raid controller with 512mb ram. I want to measure what the maximum megabytes per second read, and the maximum megabytes per second write. This server is a production database server running MYSQL. We are trying to gain performance insight to what we currently have compared to deploying a new server with nothing but SSD's. <br />
<br />
Can anyone please tell me how to get the measurements I require?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Rick

How would I measure the disk read / write speed in ubuntu server 8.04? no x windows

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
