[LTP] Running from tmpfs

[LTP] Running from tmpfs

[Olli Vertanen]

Hi!

I'd like to know if LTP tests can be run entirely from tmpfs? My system 
has rootfs mounted read-only, and I would like to avoid remounting it. 
Do you have tests that require write access to rootfs?

I've succeeded in running the runltplite.sh set of tests from tmpfs, but 
to accomplish this with runalltests.sh minor modifications to the script 
is required.

So, I started wondering, is the limitation because of inherit properties 
of the tests, or just poor paramerization of the script.

Thanks!

Not for writing, there were some buggy tests that utilized / directly
but that should have been fixed (at least I hope so). If you find such
testcase it's considered a bug.

I would say poorly written script, and as usuall patches are welcome ;).
