Fuse::PDF caught my eyes a few days ago (how could it not with that name ;) although I still wonder if it has any serious use) and having a test suite for a file system that can be reused is an excellent idea. You're right, very few tests suits are reusable. I know of standard tests for C++ that vendors can qualify against but except that not much. Other domains tha could be interresting to have generic tests suits for are: - load balancing/scheduling - network protocol - database I'm planning to write a fuse based FS so your test suit will come handy.
