In case you're talking about my test data the uncompressed test case could be externally compressed and the test code adjusted accordingly. It never occurred to me to do that since you never compress dump files like that in the wild - you use the native compression instead - but the file is almost entirely \0. I guess I also assumed the test data would be a separate download.
You definitely want to have both compressed and uncompressed test data though, and large enough files and directories to force multiple segments. I think I managed to fail on nearly every case during development.
