This should be included in the description if that's part of the role. This alone is a task and I'm afraid *that* does require much more time commitment and experience I don't think I have with XFS yet. And so it would seem to me a more experience developer on both fstests and XFS would be required for this. > > And a test lead might do more testing besides fstests.

I could certainly help try to set a high bar, but to actually ensure correctness of XFS test patches, I do think that should require a more seasoned XFS developer and with fstests. Luis
