Thanks for the review! I'll update in next version.

The sleep seems redundant, I'll remove it.

I see the description for dangerous group is "Tests which may oops or
hang", so I put it in the group. If you think it's not proper here I can
remove the dangerous group.

I think auto group is for tests that can be run automatically, it's not
about time - I guess that's what the quick group is for. The description
for auto is "tests to be run as part of nightly qa". So I think it's
proper here.

I tested it on two hosts:
A - Intel Xeon E5-2630 CPU, 12 logical processors, 32G memory
B - Intel Core2 Quand CPU, 4 logical processors, 4G memory

And the run time and run cycles are:
A - 70 ~ 75 seconds, 19 ~ 21 iterations
B - about 380 seconds, 17 interations

Not too many interations, so I'd like to leave fsstress running to end.

Thanks again for the intensive review!
