How about a test comprising of lots of mail being sent/rejected/bounced/deferred/etc. Usually SMTPs like postfix store lots of directories and files in there. And thus create lots of reads/writes. We could measure the efficiency of that. I think it is possible to DoS a system by thrashing its i/o by forcing the smtp to do lots of work. With very poor io efficiency that is.
Propably reiserfs would have better results with such a test, whereas ext3 could have better results on a differents test. (different application)
I think the 'best result' fs will vary on the test. Also i think it is better to testdrive the file systems using real applications on high load.
