I don't know about stress testing software but I had a handy little
tarball I decompress to stress test storage hardware. 4GB worth of
1kB--4kB gif images spread across 40 folders. Decompress that to an
ext3 partition, serve it over a network to a windows machine using
samba, and tell windows to view the remote folder in thumbnail view.
Already proven one hardware RAID card wasn't up to the task. :D
app-benchmarks/stress
and
app-benchmarks/bonnie++
have worked well for me.
