Hello Norman,

Thanks for your feedback.

Optimizing the performance of file systems isn't our priority either as
we don't have any concrete requirements for this. Instead, our main
goals with such a test suite are:

a) Increase the test coverage of the file systems provided by Genode in
order to transparently and continuously demonstrate the quality of the
framework and to make sure regressions won't go unnoticed once a file
system component is being used in a product.

b) Compare file system scenarios available in Genode.

Would you see value in such tests?

Kind regards
Stefan
