Bonnie++

'Bonnie++' is a disk IO benchmark utility that allows easy IO performance testing from command line without dependencies to other packages.

• Installation

1. download the tar from this page Bonnie++ v1.96
2. untar it in your device
3. run install_bonnie.sh as root

• Running tests with bonnie++

as root type following to start the standard test:

bonnie++ -u 0 > test_result

to view the result:

cat test_result

or if you don't need to store the result, just do

bonnie++ -u 0

• Testing conditions
  • To achieve somewhat comparable results, let the device boot up fully before running the test
  • Don't do anything else during the test, as this could impact the result.
