From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Theodore Ts'o Subject: Refreshed test appliance image kvm-xfstests and gce-xfstests Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2016 00:28:28 -0400 Message-ID: <20160809042828.GF9515@thunk.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cc: Luis de Bethencourt To: linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org, fstests@vger.kernel.org, gce-xfstests@googlegroups.com Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline Sender: fstests-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-ext4.vger.kernel.org There are updated rootfs.img files available at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tytso/kvm-xfstests It includes the latest updates from the xfstests-dev upstream. (For ext4 developers, note that this includes a test for expanding the i_extra_isize space that will cause non-patched kernels to hang unless you have Jan Kara's patches to fix bugs in that code. So you may want to add -X ext4/022 to your gce-xfstests or kvm-xfstests command line.) For information on how to use this images, please see: https://github.com/tytso/xfstests-bld/blob/master/Documentation/kvm-quickstart.md Also new in this release is support for btrfs. Internally, I've removed most of the ext4 dependencies so that people interested in using kvm-xfstests and gce-xfstests for testing other file systems will have a much easier time to add new test configs. Feel free to send me patches or the fs configs you would most like to see for your file system (basically, I need the mkfs and mount options that are most interesting). We currently have basic support for btrfs, ext2, tmpfs, and xfs in this release, in addition to ext4. Finally, I have started making public GCE images so you don't have to build your own copy of xfstests and then create your own GCE image. This should hopefully make life much easier for people who want to try out gce-xfstests.
