I will run whatever specific test you would like with Bonnie++, just 
give me the command line arguements you would like to see.  i have each 
filesystem mounted to /test$filesystem so you can include that if you 
like.  I have never used bonnie++ before. 

let me know what you want to have run and i will try to get some results 
today or tomorrow.

thanks
