Some people asked about ext2 so it is in this sample results.

It seemes like there was some interest in the filesystem benchmarks, so I have written a better testing script. Take it from http://umn.edu/~mine0057/bench .
(You will need scsh to use it.)

It makes it easy to select which filesytems to benchmark, and you get a tab-delimited output (so you can import into Excel :). Also, you can customize the list of tests with whatever commands you wish. If anyone finds it useful, let me know so that I continue to work on it. Attached is a sample output. fs bigdir cpu cp cpu cp2 cpu cp3 cpu cp4 cpu cp5 cpu rm cpu rm2 cpu rm3 cpu sync cpu total avg
