Can anyone recommend a tool or explain a method for to measure data throughput for a (common) filesystem's directory, including sub-directories (maybe even with limiting on depth of recursion)? (thx)
(thx)You could just use "iostat"
iostat
shows data for disks or partitions, but not directories, that are below the root directory of a partition's filesystem. iostat /dev/sdx5
shows data IO statistics for that partition, but not for a folder on that partition (maybe there's a method for utilizing iostat for that or it's depending on distributions?)
