I am planning to test if my linux setup is stable. And I want to test the filesystem of my linux? Is there any standard testing for linux filesystem?

Thanks.

  • what do you mean by "test the filesystem"? Like stress-test? Integrity test?

    You're looking for fsck. And you should ask this on superuser.

    yes this belongs on superuser because as we all know servers don't have filesystems

Test how?

If you mean testing that it is correctly installed you may want to run fsck. Most systems run it at boot time though.

I think your best bet might be the great Phoronix test suite.

e2fsck will check an ext2/ext3 filesystem for metadata integrity. There are similar tools for other filesystems.

You probably want bonnie++, a lot of file system developers use it to help measure performance.
