Disk IO Benchmark with FIO

FIO is a perfect tool. Its long name is FLEXIBLE IO. İt is a really flexible io tester benchmark utility that you can run at any platform ( Solaris / Linux / AIX )

We run the tests at Solaris Sparc systems but you can run similar tests at anywhere.

My benchmark scripts are here.

My benchmark results are here.

Except some abnormal results, we though that results obey the virtualization performance reality for OVM Sparc, which is dedicated io > sr-iov > vdisk.
