I've checked in the scripts into my xfstests-bld repository. You can get the repository here: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/ext2/xfstests-bld.git This is how I build xfstests and its dependencies hermetically, so that even if you are forced (as I was for a while) to build on an ancient enterprise or LTS distribution, it will build cleanly. (Xfstests requires the libraries in xfsprogs newer than what was shipped with LTS 10.04, and I'd guess RHEL 6 and definitely RHEL 5.) The scripts that run in the VM can be found in the directory kvm-autorun; they are installed into a file system built using debootstrap. The scripts I use to kick off kvm in the host OS can be found in the directory kvm-xfstests. Sorry for the delay; it took me a while to get things packaged up cleanly. Unfortunately I can't just ship you the root_fs.img due of GPL licensing issues (figuring what all of the necessary source files that I'd have to ship that correspond to the application image is a huge pain in the ass). One of these days I'll create a shell script that runs debootsrap and automatically sets up the root_fs.img for the VM for people building the VM while running Debian or Ubuntu --- unless someone beats me to it first (hint, hint :-). - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
