If you care to, and have the time, try the following:


for N in (0...7)
	for M in (0..2)
		create partition starting at byte offset N*512
		newfs -f 4096 -b 32768 /dev/foo
		mount /dev/foo /mnt
		time restore(8) a filesystem into it.
		unmount /mnt
		time fsck_ffs /dev/foo
		mount /dev/foo /mnt
		time tar cf /dev/null  /mnt
		unmount /mnt
