Please add an option or instructions for speed testing a specific partition. Also clarify if the test is a raw I/O or filesystem test. thx

Bro, regarding the specific partition, I included the answer from the developer in another topic:

#6 The script uses whichever disk you are actively in when you call the script (essentially your pwd). So before you run the script, simply cd into a directory that belongs to the disk that you wish to test.

Thanks Bro

Thanks bros!

Also, the fio disk speed test uses the direct=1 flag to test direct I/O to the disk rather than buffered.
