Subject: fuse/runtests: added 'random scatter' write test
X-Git-Url: https://git.rkrishnan.org/pf/content/%22news.html/frontends/webapi.txt?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2bcae7501283f950c3eb9dca639c5d199a1ff230;p=tahoe-lafs%2Ftahoe-lafs.git

fuse/runtests: added 'random scatter' write test

this writes the test file in a randomised order, with randomly sized writes.
also for each 'slice' of the file written, a randomly chosen overlapping
write is also made to the file.  this ensures that the file will be written
in its entirety in a thoroughly random order, with many overlapping writes.
