KDiskMark

[rych]

There is no package for it in Slackware it seems, and so

Code: Select all

pmod -s kdiskmark
getmod -s kdiskmark

surely don't find it either. We can just use the AppImage from https://github.com/JonMagon/KDiskMark/releases, but it's 27MB instead of a 100KB native module missing some dependencies. Using the KDiskMark as an example i'm interested in a general method to make an xzm module when there is none in any Slackware repository. Thanks

Kdiskmark need libnfs and fio but work only in a plasma environment,if you have a gtk system you can imagine the deps that you have to install...let me know if you want the packages

but work only in a plasma environment

looking at the github page, the kde part(kauth) is optional...

beny, I'm on OpenBox. AppImage works fine. If making a native xzm is too difficult, then let's not do it. Just advise me please: how do you check the speed of your disks, maybe a CLI script and no need for a GUI?

how do you check the speed of your disks, maybe a CLI script and no need for a GUI?

Try looking e.g. on stackoverflow, there are scripts that create random files (either many small ones or few large ones or a mix of small, medium and large ones) and copy or move these around.
But since my machine and my few disks not get quicker when I test their speed I cannot help you with any such scripts since I not use any myself.
