stress-ng install

tquade

I would like to install stress-ng on my pfsense appliance. From a post by luckman212 some years ago I have the following to work from:

fetch http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:xx:amd64/latest/All/stress-ng-x.xx.xx.txz
pkg install stress-ng-x.xx.xx.txz
rehash
stress-ng --metrics-brief --cpu [# of cores] --timeout 1h

I need someone to provide the appropriate x and xx values and any other corrections.

Thanks in advance.

It's 0.13.12. See: https://www.freshports.org/benchmarks/stress-ng/

But it has missing dependencies:

@stephenw10 Missing dependency seems to indicate I'm stuck.

Yes, it's hard to recommend going down the road of installing all the dependencies from a different repo.

When I want to test a system I usually just run:

yes > /dev/null &

Run it once for each cpu core and it will result in 100% CPU use:

Not perhaps as good as stress-ng but good enough IMO.

You can kill those with: killall yes

@stephenw10 That served the purpose.

Thanks
