A simple test that I like doing to measure performance data is like: time dd if=/dev/zero of=/mountpoint/dummyfile bs=1M count=1024 That writes a 1 GB file from the /dev/zero and tells you how long it took. I'd be interested to see the differences you measure between iSCSI and local storage. Of course, I am aware that this is just one simple and limited test, but it gives an idea anyway.
