The only "error" I found is that fs_fill test timeouted on vfat. That might
indicate some problems. Note, for slow machines, there is LTP_TIMEOUT_MUL

Some notes:
* The "diff" is about 445. It took me some time to realize that it's a
"diff" which reports some error, because LTP output is also after kernel config
log(output is still not clear).
* Log is huge: more than 7746 lines; ok, significant part 6275 lines is kernel config - if it's that huge,
it should be at the end.

Maybe also have description (sometimes obvious sometimes not).

It looks like this shell function should not be part of the mail.
Or at least not in the middle of kernel config (repeated several times).

That repeats till here.
