testFileCopy Description

testFileCopy - Test the speed of file copying testFileCopy is a free Perl script that will test the speed of file copying - reports on the read, write, and transfer speeds while copying a file from a specified source to a specified destination. (This is intended for use when troubleshooting slow copying of files from a networked drive for example.) Sample usages for testFileCopy are explained in the comments at the top of the script.The source and destination files are given as command-line arguments in the same order as the 'cp' command. If only one command-line argument is supplied, then that is taken as the destination file and the source data will be read from STDIN.Note that it is often useful to give /dev/null as the destination and/or to give /dev/random as the source and/or to generate source data programmatically (read from STDIN) in order to factor out issues with the source or destination file systems.
