A suggested project for somebody who would like to get involved... Hirofumi swears by fsx-linux as a filesystem tester, because it logs all operations and tests for valid file data. But it does not test directory operations at all. Other filesystem stress tests out there do test directory operations, but are not as useful as fsx-linux. Somebody could make themselves very popular by adding metadata test functionality to fsx-linux. The idea would be to maintain in memory a list of which names should exist in which directories after each operation and check the filesystem by comparing to results of readdir and fstat.
