	If anybody interested, I put a comparison of software RAID 0, 1, and 5 at
	http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/~fnevgeny/tmp/raid.gif. The chunk size was
	32k (for 0 and 5), fs block size 4k and for RAID-5, in addition, partitions
	were formatted with "-R stride=8 -g 7936" (0 and 1 seemed insensitive to
	anything but block size).

        bonnie++  updated bonnie to reflect modern hardware
                http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/

        tiotest   looks promising, still being developed

        iozone    havent tried this, but www.iozone.org shows it can do pretty
                graphics, and also has a long feature list.
