[Xen-users] HDD benchmarking



Hi,

I currently have a server with two 15,000rpm SAS drives in RAID 1. I am about to purchase a near identical server as I have run out of RAM and HDD space in my first server, and I am interested in finding out whether I can go for slower HDD's - ie I want to see if the HDD's in my current server are maxed out.

Is there any tool that I can use to benchmark/view the I/O stats of the HDD's, not for a particular domain, but rather for the entire physical server - ie I want to monitoring the physical HDD's instead of a VM's HDD's. Can I do this through dom0? Can anyone tell me the name of a program that can do this (CentOS 64bit)? And finally, is there a way that I can tell the actual max throughput of my HDD's so I can see how close to the limit they currently are?

Cheers,

Andrew
