Hi Kemeng, If you need help running xfstests, I maintain a test appliance which makes it very easy to run xfstests on development kernels. Please see: https://github.com/tytso/xfstests-bld/blob/master/Documentation/kvm-xfstests.md https://github.com/tytso/xfstests-bld/blob/master/Documentation/kvm-quickstart.md This test appliance can also be run on Android devices and using Google Compute Engine; for more information see: https://thunk.org/android-xfstests https://thunk.org/gce-xfstests If you're just getting started, I recommend that you start with kvm-xfstests, and this is the simplest way to get started. Cheers, - Ted
