[fuse-devel] Is there a FUSE fs for testing IO errors?

[Heikki O. <sh...@za...>]

Has someone written a FUSE filesystem for testing IO testing errors? 

IO Errors paths in applications are rarely tested, and it would help 
testing to have a configurable filesystem that would produce errors like
EIO at random.

Some kind of local filesystem loopback would be useful. It 
would mirror files from a "/local/path", and then cause random errors
for files specified in an "error.conf" file.

$ errorfs error.conf /local/path /fuse/path

"error.conf" would list filenames with error probabilities and broken
file offsets.
