[PATCH 0/2] Prepare for running unionmount testssuite from

[Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>]

Vivek,

You mentioned the need to run unionmount tests on custom layers
(virtiofs in your case) and I provided you the /etc/fstab solution,
which you said works for you.

I now added a new way to run unionmount tests on custom layers,
which I am going to use for xfstests integration [1].

I'd be interested to know if this method serves your use case as well.

Note that I overloaded the meaning of configuring base/lower/upper path:
  1. Use path different than the default
  2. Do not mount tmpfs nor unmount this path

I realize that it might have been better to split the two meanings into
different config options.  However, I am not fond of maintaining config
permutations that nobody is using.  So unless a user comes forward with
a use case, that's the way I intend to leave it.

Would love to get comments from anyone else of course.

Would love to get testing feedback from people that use the --fuse option,
because I am not testing it regularly.

Thanks,
Amir.
