Subject: file system race condition testing

Hi,

I wrote this script a while back. It creates 20 files, 0 through 19,
and then shuffles them around, deletes and recreates them as fast as
possible.

It's a good way to test for race conditions. I always run with
preempt turned on so that makes my system more sensitive to race
conditions. Neither JFS or Reiserfs survived a whole night of testing
on my system. It's a pretty grueling test...

regards,
dan

Thanks for the test Dan! I'm going to place it with our filesystem tests,
and it should be in this month's release (sometime next week).
