There is one main difference between this test and overlay/019 -
this test is not sensitive to timing issues and therefore:
1. You gain nothing from running several fsstress processes in parallel
2. You loose something from using a constant ransom seed (-s 42)
current code gives you all layers exactly the same and also
the same for every invocation of test run, which is not what you want.
I think what you want is to use a random seed and record that seed along
with the output of fsstress in $seqres.full so that when test test does catch
a problem with fsck with some random files, you will be able to reproduce
the same layers from the full test output.

Thanks,
Amir.
