Yes, that was vague, sorry.  I was referring to any io generator that
will perform sequential and random I/O (writes, re-writes, reads, random
writes, random reads, strided reads, backwards reads, etc).  We use
iozone internally, testing both buffered and direct I/O, varying file
and record sizes and across multiple file systems.  Data sets that fall
inside of the page cache tend to have a high standard deviation, so, as
an I/O guy, I ignore those.  ;-)

Cheers,
Jeff
