Um.  I'm not sure "inherit" is the right verb here.  Or "require" for that
matter.  Would it make more sense to state it differently?  Maybe say what is
being checked:

	_test_expects_inode_to_get_fsuid
	_test_expects_inode_to_get_fsgid

or maybe:

	_expects_filesystem_to_set_owner_from_fsuid

though that could also be:

	_require_filesystem_to_set_owner_from_fsuid
