With small requests sizes (512 bytes or 4k) you can measure how many IOPS
(IO operations per second) you can get, and with big request sizes (64+ kB)
you can measure how much throughput you can get..
Changing the number of outstanding IO's means how many IO operations are
active at the same time (optimal values depends on the storage used, and on
the queue depth of the hardware, drivers and kernel).
Note that IOmeter wants to use raw disk devices, so don't create any
partitions or format the disk before using IOmeter.
