note wazoox <p>A few years back I wrote a script to scan a broken filesystem for video files by combing through the raw disk device. The RAID was 13 TB, and the individual files saved went from a couple GB to 50 or 60 GB.<p /> <p>Else I wrote a few disk benchmark scripts that work fine indeed... Perl moves data around more than fast enough to saturate the speediest storage.</p> <ul> <li>OS Linux</li> <li>File size: from 8 to 250 GB</li> <li>Filesystem: XFS, JFS, PVFS2</li> <li>filesystem size: 8 to 250 TB</li> <li>content: video, various binary</li> <li>binary data</li> 944061 944061
