Iozone on SCALE

TrueNAS General

TrueNAS CORE included the iozone tool for performance testing. I had been using it for decades to test disk I/O, both on FreeNAS/TrueNAS CORE and under FreeBSD, Solaris, Linux, etc. I do not see it on SCALE and I do not want to try to manually add it. So what is the best way to get it on SCALE?

I could grab a copy of the binary from an Ubuntu box and drop it in the admin user’s home directory, but that feels like the wrong way to go about this.

I want to be able to test different disk devices and configurations for my workloads and iozone is flexible enough to let me tune the tests for what I am looking for.

fio is installed and is very configurable for all sorts of tests.

Thanks for the pointer. At a quick glance, it looks like fio will do most things iozone will, at least in terms of what I am looking for. Now I just need to rewrite my workloads for fio.
