Subject: [OE-core][scarthgap][PATCH] oeqa/selftest/wic: test recursive dir copy on ext partitions
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2026 16:35:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260128143547.1239286-2-daniel.dragomir@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260128143547.1239286-1-daniel.dragomir@windriver.com>
From: "Dragomir, Daniel" <daniel.dragomir@windriver.com>
Extend the wic selftests to cover recursive directory copying
into ext partitions.
Previously, copying a directory into an ext partition could
appear to succeed, but attempting to access the directory
contents would fail with:
-l: Ext2 inode is not a directory
This was fixed in commit 4fc3b42774 ("wic/engine: fix copying
directories into wic image with ext* partition").
This test now verifies that directories copied with "wic cp"
into an ext4 partition:
- are created with correct inode types
- can be listed recursively with "wic ls"
- preserve files and subdirectories
- can be copied back out of the image without data loss
A simple directory structure is used in this test:
wic-test-cp-ext-dir/
├── topfile.txt
└── subdir/
└── subfile.txt
