mkfile - Command not found

[Paktas]

Wanted to test the disk perfomance of my freeNAS configuration:

Code:

%time (mkfile 10g /mnt/users/test)
Badly placed ()'s.
%mkfile 10g /mnt/users/test
mkfile: Command not found.

I can use dd command for testing read/write perfomance instead, but was thinking if mkfile is not included for a reason?

probably to save on space, it's redundant when we have dd.

if you want the actual speed of the drives and not the cache, do 100GB, not 10GB
