Hey Drew, thanks for the heads up.

I'd be happy to see Fstress included with FreeBSD!  Regarding SPECsfs, 
Fstress has a mode that emulates it exactly.  A number of major storage 
companies have adopted it as an easier way to tune their systems before 
running the actual SPECsfs release numbers. (:
