Very interested in running this on my server.
Thanks,

You can use whatever suits you, such as untar kernel source tree, copy files, untar backups, etc--, you should benchmark specifically what *your* workload is.
Here is the skeleton, using bash:: (don't forget to turn off the cron
daemon)
for i in 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096 8192 16384 32768 65536
do
cd /
umount /r1
mdadm -S /dev/md3
mdadm --create --assume-clean --verbose /dev/md3 --level=5 --raid-devices=10 --chunk=$i --run /dev/sd[c-l]1
/etc/init.d/oraid.sh # to optimize my raid stuff
mkfs.xfs -f /dev/md3
mount /dev/md3 /r1 -o logbufs=8,logbsize=262144
# then simply add what you do often here
# everyone's workload is different
/usr/bin/time -f %E -o ~/$i=chunk.txt bash -c 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/r1/bigfile bs=1M count=10240; sync'
done
Then just, grep : /root/*chunk* | sort -n to get the results in the same format.
