It's not too hard. I get several bad traces within about half an hour.

I have tried this for about 90 minutes:
blktrace -a complete -a issue -a
drv_data /dev/sda /dev/sdae /dev/sdaj /dev/sdao /dev/sdat /dev/sday
/dev/sdbc /dev/sdbh /dev/sdbm /dev/sdbr /dev/sdbw /dev/sdca
/dev/sdg /dev/sdl /dev/sdq /dev/sdv /dev/sdaa
No bad traces. Need to check whether verify_trace() was called at all...
For this test I had to reduce the number of devices traced due to
the oom-killer picking on blktrace.
Or did you have something else in mind?

I was trying with the command line above.
Would be blktrace in network mode worth another try?
I have just run the my initial test case on a recent linux git tree.
Same issue, bad traces:
--- bad trace magic ---
magic 0x00000000
sequence 0x00000000

Then I ran blkrawverify /dev/sdaa - no issue found.
