Sorry to interrupt, but I have a test program that does exactly that, 
and more, that I used to use when I was testing SCSI disk arrays.  It 
works on a number of platforms, including FreeBSD, and should work on 
any type of storage device.  If you're interested, I can either send you 
the source, or make it available by ftp.  Might be easier than cobbling 
something up from scratch.

Thanks,
