Hello,

Try to use fio - http://git.kernel.dk/?p=fio.git;a=summary

You may use my rpm - fio-2.0.10-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
<http://yum.aclub.net/pub/linux/centos/6/umask/x86_64/fio-2.0.10-1.el6.x86_64.rpm>
or rebuild this src.rpm fio-2.0.10-1.el6.src.rpm
<http://yum.aclub.net/pub/linux/centos/6/umask/SRPMS/fio-2.0.10-1.el6.src.rpm>
using
fresh sources.
