I'd like to see tests for readonly filesystems, squashfs is definitely one target, and other readonly filesystems like erofs could benefit from the tests as well. > Is this the right project to fill this need and is it worth it trying to > address some of the problems with the old squashfs patches? I think so, at least I'm happy to see readonly tests in fstests personally. But, to be honest, I still didn't come out with a good way to share existing generic tests for RO filesystems.. And I think it's a good opportunity to use wisdom from the community :) Thanks, Eryu
