I had assumed it was because we might want to test the combination of
overlayfs with a variety of different underlying file systems?
If we move this to tests/overlay, I'd still be able to do this kind of
testing via:
{gce,kvm}-xfstests --primary-fstype {ext4,xfs} -c overlay/default -g auto
This allows me to test overlayfs with the underlying upper and lower
directories being either ext4 or xfs. (I could and should extend this
to support other base file system types, via some minor changes to
test-appliance/files/root/fs/overlay/config, but I had never gotten
around to it.)
How do other people who are testing overlayfs handle this?
