IOMeter on CIFS share

If you are trying to run IOMeter on network mounted drives, you might find that IOMeter disk targets doesn't show network drives. And most search results will tell you that IOMeter cannot be run on CIFS share

After playing with it for few hours, I found that older version of IOMeter (2006) does work with CIFS shares. Here is the download link - http://www.iometer.org/doc/downloads.html

1. Downloand IOMeter 2006 and install
2. Mount your network drive
3. Provide necessary permissions
4. Launch IOMeter after finishing Steps 2 and 3
5. Now you should see network drives in disk targets on IOMeter
