This has been mostly fixed. It ends up the lowest we can go is 267 on
the fat32 test because fat32 won't work on anything smaller than 256.
All the others have been reduced to 10, so hopefully this is enough to
squeak by on a small system.

Hi,

It appears that scsi_debug needs actual memory when creating the
virtual disks.  If I run the tests inside a qemu VM with just 512MB of
RAM, the t3200-type-change test fails when it tries to create a 550MB
virtual disk.

Most of the other tests get by with virtual disks of just a few
megabytes.  Would someone who understands the partition structure
better than me be able to change the numbers so the test runs with a
10MB disk?

Cheers,
Ross
