Right, I should have made a case for that. ltp already has test cases for system calls such as readv/writev (though they are woefully inadequate). It simply looked like a better fit to me. For some reason I view xfstests as a regression test suite, but I know that isn't strictly true. If you feel xfstests is a better place, and Ted makes a good case for that choice, then that's fine with me. I'm not, as Ted worried, insisting on putting test cases into ltp. :) I was expressing my opinion, and am happy for the dialog.
