There is my tool in ports (benchmarks/raidtest/) which does what you want. The README file wasn't moved to ports, IIRC, you can find it here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/tools/tools/raidtest/Attic/README?rev=1.2&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&hideattic=0 -- Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
