| 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. |
