Maybe ZCAV will help? http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/zcav/ >From the bonnie++ home page: "The ZCAV program which I initially released as a separate package tests the performance of different zones of a hard drive. It does not write any data (so you can use it on full file systems). It can show why comparing the speed of Windows at the start of a hard drive to Linux at the end of the hard drive (typical dual-boot scenario) isn't a valid comparison." hth, James
