Currently the -X option is intended to specify a set of expunging files which are stored in each test/* subdirectory. As described in the commit description for 0b1e8abd4, in order to exclude the test generic/280, the -X option is used as follows: $ cat tests/generic/3.0-stable-avoid 280 $ sudo ./check -X 3.0-stable-avoid generic/280 However, it is sometimes useful to store the set of expunged tests in a single file, outside of tests/* subdirectories. This commit allows the following: $ cat /root/conf/data_journal.exclude generic/068 ext4/301 $ sudo ./check -X /root/conf/data_journal.exclude -g auto If the argument to the -X option is a pathname (that is, includes a '/' character), treat it as the latter case. If it the argument to the -X option is just a bare filename (that is, does not include '/' character), treat it as the former.
