I regularly (once or twice a week) test 100 corrupted images of 
vfat, udf, msdos, swap, iso9660, ext2, ext3, ext4, minix, bfs, befs,
hfs, hfs+, qnx4, affs and cramfs on each of my two test machines.

They are all pretty stable, one remaining thing on my list i didnt have
time to look into was an issue with fat (msdos) triggering a bug in
buffer.c the other is a warning with ext4 in jbd2/checkpoint.c:166

If there is a filesystem you are interested in thats not on the list
or that you want me to test a bit more, just let me know

Greetings, Eric
