Compiling the fio benchmark

The fio benchmarking utility is used to verify Linux system performance with an IO Accelerator. To compile the fio utility, get the latest version of fio source from the tarball link (http://freshmeat.net/projects/). For a tar balls of all fio releases, see the Index of /snaps (http://brick.kernel.dk/snaps).

1.Install the necessary standard dependencies, for example: gcc $ yum -y install gcc

2.Install the necessary libaio development headers, for example: $ yum -y install libaio-devel

3.Explode the fio tarball:

$ tar xjvf fio-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2 $ cd fio-X.Y.Z

4.Build fio for your system: $ make

When the rebuild completes successfully, a fio binary is placed in the fio directory.
