Documented steps

  1. Use mc od to upload a local file to a remote target in a controlled number of parts and part sizes, mimicking the Linux dd tool for throughput testing.
  2. Basic full upload: mc od if=file.zip of=ALIAS/BUCKET/file.zip size=40MiB (splits source into 40MiB parts, uploads all of them).
  3. Control the exact number of parts: mc od if=file.zip of=ALIAS/BUCKET/file.zip size=40MiB parts=5 -> divides into 5 equal parts; if source is larger than 5*40MiB only the first 200MiB uploads.
  4. Skip N leading parts to test throughput on a portion of a large object: mc od if=big.bin of=ALIAS/BUCKET/big.bin size=10MiB parts=100 skip=20.
  5. With --json global flag, output includes partSize, totalSize, parts, and elapsed upload time - useful for benchmarking.
