Lots of times in parallel. It certainly isn't guaranteed to find all problems, but it is easy to do and will exercise a lot of code. You should randomly fail drives and start rebuilds while that is happening. Also diff -r of two kernel trees after exploding them. And make sure you are short of memory so that lots of reads go to disk.
