Such a test is kind-of redundant, because olpc-update effectively
replaces your old filesystem with the new one, and it performs an
extensive check of every file in the new fs before it makes this
replacement (and aborts if there is a mismatch).

If you want to really be sure of this here is how you can run the
check again, use this script:
http://dev.laptop.org/attachment/ticket/11060/fscheck.sh

Note that it is strict - if you have changed any config files,
installed any RPMs, etc, since you updated to the new version, the
check will intentionally fail.

Thanks for testing.
