Ohh that is correct (the only unimplemented ioctl left is XFS_MAKE_ME_COFFE),
xfstest even have  086'th, 121'th and 181'th testcases which check that
feature, but recent XFS still can not survive after disk failure:
https://gist.github.com/dmonakhov/4951456

fail injection framework is very simple and clean layer which just works.

I just ment to say that functions below are good candidates to became
common wrappers.

Ohh yes, this should work w/o force option

It it reasonable to create two separate tests
1) for journaled fs: check (1)-(4) and (5)-(7)
2) for generic fs  : check (1)-(4) and does fsck -f -y  (check that fsck
is capable to fix errors)
