From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Theodore Ts'o Subject: Refreshed rootfs.img for kvm-xfstests Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2016 11:28:16 -0400 Message-ID: <20160630152816.GA2784@thunk.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii To: linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Received: from imap.thunk.org ([74.207.234.97]:39924 "EHLO imap.thunk.org" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S932072AbcF3P2V (ORCPT ); Thu, 30 Jun 2016 11:28:21 -0400 Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-ext4-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: There is an updated rootfs.img file available at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tytso/kvm-xfstests It includes the latest updates from the xfstests-dev upstream. This image also includes the dbench binary which enables generic/241. There is also support for testing the virtio-rng kernel driver (not for file system testing). The gce-xfstests driver has been updated to support the latest gcloud SDK and Debian releases. For more information about this test framework, please see: http://thunk.org/gce-xfstests Finally, it is now possible to build tar.gz file with all of the xfstests-bld test runner infrastructure using "./gen-image --out-tar=rootfs.tar.gz". This can be used for those people who want to run xfstests on bare hardware without using KVM. This also allows xfstests-bld to be built on a Debian armhf build server, and then create a tar.gz file that can be used to run a chroot environment on an Android device. (This requires using an external drive attached to a USB C hub, with a special kernel which forces SELinux in Permissive mode. More documentation and automation will hopefully follow.) Cheers, - Ted
