This PR removes the reference in the documentation to the DAX subtest of the FIO benchmark, because this metric is currently WIP. Fixes: #8159 Signed-off-by: David Esparza <david.esparza.borquez@intel.com>

# Kata Containers storage I/O tests
|
|
|
|
The metrics tests in this directory are designed to be used to assess storage IO.
|
|
|
|
## `Blogbench` test
|
|
|
|
The `blogbench` script is based on the `blogbench` program which is designed to emulate a busy blog server with a number of concurrent
|
|
threads performing a mixture of reads, writes and rewrites.
|
|
|
|
### Running the `blogbench` test
|
|
|
|
The `blogbench` test can be run by hand, for example:
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd metrics
|
|
$ bash storage/blogbench.sh
|
|
```
|
|
## `fio` test
|
|
|
|
The `fio` test utilizes the [fio tool](https://github.com/axboe/fio), configured to perform measurements upon a single test file.
|
|
|
|
The test spawns 8 jobs that exercise the I/O types `sequential read`, `random read`, `sequential write` and `random write`, while collecting
|
|
data using a block size of 4 Kb, an I/O depth of 2, and uses the `libaio` engine on a workload with a size of 10 gigabytes for a period of
|
|
10 seconds on each I/O type.
|
|
|
|
The results show the average bandwidth and average number of IOPS per I/O type in JSON format.
|
|
|
|
The `fio` test can be run by hand, for example:
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd metrics
|
|
$ bash storage/fio_test.sh
|
|
```
