sorry, we don't know about [jackson.].cs.unc.edu.
there is an iostone benchmark i found via comp.arch; contacts are
*   Written by: Arvin Park (park@midas.ucdavis.edu) and
*            Jeff Becker (becker@iris.ucdavis.edu)

i just did this timing for my disks. it is conceptually easy;
just time copies from src to dest MAKING SURE to flush the
buffer pool (assuming you want to measure file system speed).
mail me back if you want my shell script..
