• BSOD. I started up my computer today and it hit me with a BSOD, it said it was a file called srttrail.txt and this came up after system restore and BSOD in safe mode aswell

  If you have a way to plug your drive into an external USB adapter, such as SATA to USB or M.2 to USB, you could run Acronis Drive Monitor to check the drives reliability. Most likely the drive is beginning to fail, and even if you format and reinstall your OS, the problem will return. Source: over 2 years ago

• Dire SMB speed with on PC to NAS

  Assuming two systems use flash storage, network bandwidth is identical and it is configured the same way, there should be an issue within the PC, either system or storage drive. Check the system logs for errors and warning events related to data transfer from/to NAS. Try to benchmark the PCs' disks using fio to confirm they have similar performance. https://github.com/axboe/fio. Source: 10 months ago

• Ask HN: What are some good resources for learning about low level disk/file IO?

  Not specifically addressing your question, but when you get to the point of wanting to start doing some experiments you may find that 'fio' [1] is very handy. [1] https://github.com/axboe/fio. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• KVM virtual machines on ZFS benchmarks

  The dd is not a good benchmarking tool, you should use something like fio and probably tune it to use the ioengine most similar to your use case (eg. a database server will probably use some async IO interface). In your first example (with bs=1G) probably something (the guest OS, the qemu/kvm or the host OS) have split into smaller chunks anyway. Source: about 1 year ago

• SSD Sequential Write Slowdowns

  All linux tests are run with fio 3.32 (github) with future commit 03900b0bf8af625bb43b10f0627b3c5947c3ff79 manually applied. Source: about 1 year ago

• Just write the f*****g parser.

  Agree, I used flex/yacc to add an arithmetic expression evaluator to fio a few years back to allow simple math with some units in fio's job files, and for stuff like that, they're fine, but I wouldn't want to use them for a real language, the error handling is kind of a nightmare.
