| The spew package is used to test I/O performance and to generate load
 | |
| on character devices, block devices, and file systems.  It is similar
 | |
| to the lmdd program found in the lmbench test-suite
 | |
| (http://www.bitmover.com/lmbench). It is a bit easier to use than lmdd
 | |
| and has some added functionality.  For example, it can test both
 | |
| random and sequential I/O.
