May I please get some advise and list experience on using this or other disk subsystem benchmark programs properly with or without a GUI ?
I've always used iozone to much satisfaction. Just make sure your file sizes are larger than your caching. The automatic options will reveal with the real boundaries are to your caching and then you can perform custom tests from there. Keep in mind to get good, relevant results, you're looking at very large files that'll take awhile to complete.
