bonnie++ binary package in Ubuntu Precise i386

 It is called Bonnie++ because it was based on the Bonnie program. This
 program also tests performance with creating large numbers of files.
 Now includes zcav raw-read test program. A modern hard drive will have more
 sectors in the outer tracks because they are longer. The hard drive will
 have a number (often more than 8) of zones where each zone has the same
 number of sectors (due to the need for an integral number of sectors per
 track). This program allows you to determine the levels of performance
 provided by different zones and store them in a convenient format for gnuplot.
 .
 This is the experimental version. It's not ready to replace the 1.x series
 in time for Lenny but will be for Lenny+1. The extra features (large file
 support, better bon_csv2html, and support for zcav tests on multiple devices)
 will make it worth using for some people.
