There are Elizabeth Zwicky's backup-program torture tests.  They're not
primarily designed to stress the underlying filesystem, but they do use
it in ways that can turn up interesting corner-case bugs.  (Things like
files with multiple thousands of hardlinks, files with all possible
one-character names, file names that push length limits, etc.)

Finding the code may be nontrivial by now.  IIRC it was a bunch of perl
scripts; I'm going to ask around and see if I can find a copy.  (I'd
like a copy for myself if nothing else.)
