## Common questions

### What should I point Fio-Tester at to avoid overwriting real data?

Point it at a dedicated test file or empty folder, such as mydata.bin, because Fio writes real files and can fill the disk or touch data if aimed at the wrong place.

### How do I run a Fio test against another machine’s storage?

Use client/server mode and start fio --server on the machine whose storage you want to test. If the client is on another machine, allow port 8765 through the firewall on the server machine.

### Is there an Unraid container for Fio-Tester?

There is a Fio-Tester Unraid container based on the Flexible I/O Tester Docker image. It helps homelab users run, configure, or troubleshoot I/O workload tests.

### How can I get notified about recent Fio commits?

The fio project mailing list receives automated emails detailing recent commits at most daily.
