These are provided by sf.net, if you browse the files on sf.net there is
small circle with i on the right, that, when clicked on shows md5 and
sha1. These were generated by sf.net servers but I've checked that they
match the files I've created.

Most of the failures comes from EBUSY while trying to umount
filesystems. Do you have gvfsd-trash running? That thing is known to
probe newly mounted filesystems preventing them from being unmounted for
a certain amount of time.

Just kill the process, or run the testcases via ssh session.

Hmm, maybe we can change the test cases to complain loudly if the
process is found running.

And should be fixed in latest git. Now the testcases complain about the
failure, give a hint what may be causing it, and if the umount() is not
the the syscall under test, it's retried a few times with short usleep
between.
