Hi Amir,

Thanks a lot for this documentation. I tested it and it works for me. So
far I was only running "./run --ov". Now I can do samefs setups and also
verify index feature etc.

Two minor nits/queries.

- Right now "./run --ov --samefs -s" fails if "/base" directory is not
  there. So in mkdir command, add "base" to the list also.

- For the xfs reflink test, I am curious that why have you recommended
  to also enabled "rmapbt=1". Is is required for the tests?

Thanks
Vivek
