That doesn't help us triage or fix up the problems people have, Ted.
xfstests needs to run on lots of different distros - even ones that
are years old - and so we need to understand and fix these problems,
not work around them.
Perhaps you could spend some time and send patches to document the
build/installation procedure that you use so we can improve the
process for everyone?
Cheers,
Dave.
