(regardless of whether TEST_DEV is involved.) xfstests, despite its name, works with other filesystems too: $ ls xfstests/tests/ Makefile cifs f2fs ocfs2 shared xfs btrfs ext4 generic overlay udf A lot of tests has something like "_supported_fs xfs", because they are fs-specific and won't run on other filesystems. Tests in the 'generic' folder should be universal, though. You need a TEST_DEV (and SCRATCH_DEV for a lot of tests) as a mountable device, but if you stay with the generic tests, it doesn't have to be formatted as xfs. Also, FSTYP is another variable I imagine could be really useful for you (see the readme). xfstests as a suite doesn't really care what filesystem it is (except maybe some whitelisting - you might need to add your own name on few places, but you will see). The specific tests can care, but you don't have to run them all. Or you can make your set of tests in tests/ directory - each test is just a bash script using a common framework.
