Yes. Maybe crashme as well; has anyone run it on recent kernels?
Speaking of crashme, is there a filesystem version of it? It would go something like this:
for (;;) p = random filesystem operation (read,write,seek,mkdir,etc) perform p on the real victim filesystem perform p on an internal model of VFS semantics compare; if different, complain
The file contents could be deterministically-random junk so that the internal model needs only metadata state.
Run several concurrently to test a local filesystem, or perhaps bang on an NFS server from many directions.
