FPATH is either "", "/", "/foo/bar" + "/" or "/foo/bar" + "/" + "/". The last 
one is not to too nice, but still correct.

FPATH is *never* "/foo/bar", i.e. without trailing slash.

I did not claim this is correct. I just stated this problem exists already for 
the older test cases.

No, this will not work for ext4 *and* fat.

Every check starts with a "grep -Axx 'Test Case n'" match. If "-Axx" is 
extended to *always* include the "yyy bytes written", then it will work for 
ext4, but it will also match "Test Case n \n failed \n Test Case n+1 \n yyy 
bytes written".

Kind Regards,

Stefan
