pveperf runs a quick benchmark to measure CPU and storage performance on a Proxmox VE host. It tests CPU performance using BogoMIPS calculations and storage performance with sequential and random read/write tests.
The results help identify potential performance bottlenecks and verify that storage meets minimum requirements for virtualization workloads. Default test runs on the root filesystem mount point.

Benchmark results are approximate and may vary between runs. For accurate storage benchmarking, consider dedicated tools like fio. Results should be interpreted in context of workload requirements.

Part of Proxmox VE, providing quick system performance validation. Useful for initial hardware assessment and troubleshooting performance issues in virtualization environments.
