Lately I was thinking about SD card performance on the Raspberry Pi. The crazy long benchmarking thread complains about the duration to compile iozone3, so I went ahead and added it in my repository:

1
2
3
4
5

wget http://xivilization.net/~marek/raspbian/xivilization-raspbian.gpg.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget http://xivilization.net/~marek/raspbian/xivilization-raspbian.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xivilization-raspbian.list

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install iozone3

(packaged the same as upstream Debian in the non-free section, which I just added to the repo)

Have fun benchmarking!
