+
+As the name might imply, xfstests is a file system regression test suite which
+was originally developed by Silicon Graphics (SGI) for the XFS file system.
+Originally, xfstests, like XFS was only supported on the SGI's Irix operating
+system. When XFS was ported to Linux, so was xfstests, and now xfstests is
+only supported on Linux.
+
+Today, xfstests is used as a file system regression test suite for all of
+Linux's major file systems: xfs, ext2, ext4, cifs, btrfs, f2fs, reiserfs, gfs,
+jfs, udf, nfs, and tmpfs. Many file system maintainers will run a full set of
+xfstests before sending patches to Linus, and will require that any major
+changes be tested using xfstests before they are submitted for integration.
+
+The easiest way to start running xfstests is under KVM with xfstests-bld:

+The "kvm-xfstests smoke" is a minimal subset of xfstests for testing all major
+file systems, running under KVM.
