I'm a file system testing newbie, I have a  question/doubt,please let
me know if i'm wrong.

Do you think a tool, which uses output from "hdparm" command,to get
hard drives maximum  performance and compares it specific file system
(say for example,"ext4 provides xx throughput against max. device
throughput yy" ) would be more meaningful.

Does using hdparm (or other device throughput related tools) for
benchmarking will be useful?

Thanks.
