Try to run the same IO operations as your production server is running. Bonnie++ could be good application for benchmarking. Also run some parallel rsync, rm, find, etc proccesses.
I am with John Pierce on this one, role and app will dictate benchmarks that reflect reality.

If the job involves creating/deleting lots of little files like a mail server with maildir format storage, you might try to dig up a copy of postmark too.
I found iometer is a good tool for real-world benchmarking if you take the time to setup the tests according to the workload.
