Maksym, you can do the following:
* Get the ``File System Exerciser'' running on GNU/Hurd (no idea if
there's any porting required). The one I linked from
<http://www.bddebian.com:8888/~hurd-web/open_issues/file_system_exerciser/>
appears to be the ``definitive version''.
* Run it on a tmpfs file system and see what happens.
* For comparison, also run it on an ext2fs file system. This is for
comparison, which errors are due to the tmpfs/ext2fs difference, and
which are due to libdiskfs (used both by tmpfs and ext2fs), etc. If
you happen to have a NFS setup at home (only client on GNU Hurd), you
can also run it on a file system backed by the nfs translator. If
you haven't, I (as well as Olaf?) can help with the latter testing.

Of course, you're invited to add notes to these pages. (In fact, this is
also part of working on a project.) As always,
<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/contributing/web_pages.html> has
instructions.
