Simple shell script to test new HDDs.
sudo diskburn /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdcWarning: This will perform a destructive read/write test and delete
all data on /dev/sda, /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc!
Diskburn needs a couple of standard utilities in order to test disks:
badblocks(8)smartctl(8)zcav(8)
On Debian-based systems, these can be installed using the following command:
sudo apt install e2fsprogs smartmontools bonnie++Also, if gnuplot(1) is installed, diskburn produces a HDD throughput
plot. If gnuplot is not installed, a gnuplot script is written to
the test directory which you can then run on another system.
