Intro to fstests environment?

Intro to fstests environment?

[Graham Cobb]

Hi,

I seem to have another case where scrub gets confused when it is
cancelled and restarted many times (or, maybe, it is my error or
something). I will look into it further but, instead of just hacking
away at my script to work out what is going on, I thought I might try to
create a regression test for it this time.

I have read the kdave/fstests READMEs and the wiki. Is there any other
documentation or advice I should read? Of course, I will look at
existing test scripts as well.

I don't suppose anyone has a convenient VM image or similar which I can
use as a starting point?

Theodore T'so has a project on GitHub called xfstests-bld [1] to 
automate setup of an environment for GCE or Android or a QEMU VM to run 
xfstests.  That's probably going to be your best bet as a starting point 
as it not only has a bunch of the infrastructure needed to build such 
things, but also has good documentation.
