Hi Richard
Agreed. We can run read_all with the -e option to exclude the 
/dev/watchdog*, as bleow:

diff --git a/runtest/fs b/runtest/fs
index a595edb..42a9bfc 100644

+read_all_dev read_all -d /dev -e '/dev/watchdog?(0)' -q -r 10
read_all_proc read_all -d /proc -q -r 10
read_all_sys read_all -d /sys -q -r 10

How about this modification?
