of the software, rather than just a page from which the source can
be downloaded.

PostMark is the benchmark used in the NetApp Technical Report TR-3022,
"PostMark: A New File System Benchmark". The paper fully explains how
to use this tool.
From the paper's Abstract:
Existing file system benchmarks are deficient in portraying
performance in the ephemeral small-file regime used by Internet
software, especially:
* electronic mail
* netnews
* web-based commerce
PostMark is a new benchmark to measure performance for this class of
application.
