Description
PRESENTATION
Fun with
"blktrace" and "seekwatcher"
by
M. Edward (Ed) Borasky
<[email protected]>
blktrace is a command that generates traces of the i/o
traffic on block devices such as hard drives.
seekwatcher generates graphs from blktrace runs to help
visualize IO patterns and performance. It can plot multiple
blktrace runs together, making it easy to compare the differences
between different benchmark runs.
Ed will show us how to install and use these cool tools.
