bonnie++ is easy. By default, it tries to choose sane file sizes to
avoid the effects of buffer caches. So all you need to do is this:

# bonnie++ -d /path/to/filesystem

I suggest creating the filesystems on the same partition. This means
creating a new filesystem for each test, but since the performance of
the disk varies depending on the location, not doing so can bias the
results. You can see this by running the zcav tool included with the
bonnie++ package. Also make sure as little as possible is running on
the system while you're running the tests, too.

Looking forward to those results!
