Copying them in from xfstests-bld solved that. /usr/bin/awk points to an executable in Ted's home directory. Relinking to /usr/bin/gawk fixed things up well enough. With these changes, I was able to get a complete 4k run with some discrepancies relative to my ARM baseline: As reported in the output log produced by runtests.sh, it appears that the quota user tools are not installed; quota-related xfstests were not run, and the tools are missing from /root/xfstests/bin where they are found on the x86_64 image. Several tests using dm failed involving the error and flakey targets. Some succeeded in my baseline, and some are new since the baseline. They need a closer look to see what's going on - there's no immediate evidence the root fs image is responsible. Otherwise, this is an easy and convenient way to run the test appliance on ARM.
