I am not sure that I do the right thing to get this result because the
tmporary files are removed after the test is done. So what I only can
do is like this in a terminal during the test is running:
while true
do
ls -l /tmp
usleep 500
done
Please let me know if I am wrong.

I'm using 3.12-rc5 plus the ext4 dev tree too. So I guess that the
difference between us is that I do these tests on a hard disk rather
than on tmpfs.
