Thanks for sharing this... it looks interesting...  I wonder what it woudl
do with non-SSD just as a I/O stress test... or better, against a bcache
setup?

* If you've never heard of it, bcache is linking a platter drive with an
SSD that acts as a read/write cache for the platter disk, giving you a LOT
of SSD speed caching for larger, slower spinning drives.
