I hope the announcement I just sent responded to this; but basically, the toolkit works on a somewhat higher level (it uses zzuf, which I believe to be similar to fsfuzzer but actually only fuzzes the filesystem image and does not itself run tests on it; zzuf is not written by me). Mostly the toolkit is about managing a virtual machine to run tests automatically and about minimizing the differences to pristine filesystems. I confess I'm not intimately familiar with fsfuzzer (I should be!), but I believe one of the advantages of berserker is that it automates the virtual machine stuff and provides convenient scripts that can be used with e.g. git bisect run.
