Need to benchmark disks

tafkap · September 21, 2020, 2:30pm

Hello,

i’m new on Linux world/OpenSUSE.

I’m looking for a tool that allows to benchmark my disks (HDD & SSD) like CrystalDiskMark.

Thank for your help.

Hi and welcome to the Forum
There is benchmarking and there is benchmarking… do you just want to see what your disks are running like, or are you wanting some in depth analysis? What desktop environment, for the GNOME DE the is gnome-disks which offers a benchmark, then real heavy filesystem analysis, the likes of iozone. Simple command line tests the likes of fio.

Perhaps some information on your end goal

Hello Malcom,

thanks for your answer

In fact, the goal is just a matter of seeing how my disks perform, like CrystalDiskMark:

Yes, my desktop environment is GNOME.

Copy and paste is indeed all you need to install. :)And crazydiskmark delivers what users are asking for.

Hello,

Hi
That’s normal, I recommend you just accept install without a key, or import the key manually… since it’s my testing repository, you could add temporarily and accept the key, then disable.

tafkap · September 23, 2020, 8:15pm

Here is the result:

Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i] (a): i

It seems ok but the application doesn’t work, i found the application icon but when i click on it, nothing happens.

Thanks a lot to help me.

Hi
Open a terminal and run from the command line;


crazydiskmark

tafkap · September 23, 2020, 8:39pm

Very sorry

Hi
Very strange… tested here on Tumbleweed and Leap 15.2 and all good…

You have a standard python install? Not using the likes of pip?


python3 -V

tafkap · September 23, 2020, 10:06pm

My Python version is: 3.8.5

It’s a new installation of openSUSE.

malcolmlewis · September 23, 2020, 10:42pm

Hi
Then your running Tumbleweed, not Leap 15.2, can you please post the output from;


cat /etc/os-release


Leap 15.2
python3 -V
Python 3.6.10
Tumbleweed
python3 -V
Python 3.8.5

Hi
Are you sure Tumbleweed is for you, every snapshot is a new release?

If so, then you need to install this one and remove the old one;


zypper rm crazydiskmark
zypper in https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/malcolmlewis:/TESTING/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/noarch/crazydiskmark-0.7.3-3.1.noarch.rpm
