I am reading O'reilly's "System PerformanceTuning" and the author makes use of a Solaris command "printconf" to obtain the synchronous transfer speed of a scsi disk. Is there a similar command for Linux?
Trickykid or finegan are more Soalris aware than I am (OK I haven't ever _touched_ a solaris box) but you could have a look at hdparm. If you're willing to invest this kind of interest you may also want to look at the smart tools suite as well.
The similar test would be hdparm -Tt /dev/whatever I believe...
I am looking at scsi disks so hdparm doesn't offer as much as I would like. I am going to to look at this smart suite you speak of and tiotest as well.
