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.
