Freenas local disk performance testing

[cmdematos]

I want to test out the performance of the local disk storage and eliminate the network in doing so. I am trying to get FIO or similar software to run on freenas am failing.

How can I install fio (or similar) locally on freenas to get this to work?

Don't think fio is mentioned in the FreeNAS guide, but it is already installed on recent versions.
