Expand description
A variant that fills the device, inducing disk-full errors and tries to avoid the page-cache. Starts the ‘aggressive’ stressor. This variant performs open-read-close, open-append-close, and unlink-open-append-close operations. Note that ‘truncate’ is not exercised. This version also silently ignores errors such as out of space.

- Stressor
- Designed to ‘exercise’ the filesystem and thrash the dirent cache. This cyclically works its way through 10000 files (the dirent cache holds 8000).
