Bonnie++ is able to use very large datasets. It also tries to

but you have to be careful building bonnie++ since it has bad
assumptions about which systems can do large files... eg, on
FreeBSD it doesn't try large files unless you patch it
appropriately (which the freebsd port does for you).
On platforms it thinks can't use large files it uses multiple sets of
2GB files. (Sort of like our beloved PG)
