While these ideas are interesting, they stretch the name "fullfs". Maybe a more appropriate name would be "errfs". The SQLite test suite (https://sqlite.org/testing.html) takes a similar approach, with the failure modes "fail once" and "fail from now on" that kick in after a specified number of operations. Maybe you find further ideas there. Roland
