When looking for data to fill in the filesystem, errors accessing files may occur. This will cause the test to fail as it'll show in the output lines such as: du: cannot read directory '/usr/etc/sudoers.d': Permission denied Ignoring these errors should be safe, so simply redirecting the stderr of 'du' to $seqres.full fixes it. Unfortunately, this exposed a different issue, which was the truncation of the $seqres.full file while copying files into the filesystem. This patch also fixes that.
