That was indeed missing in my setup, but it did not fix the problem.

Turned out that I had a very old version of fsverity installed in my
kvm-xfstest test VM, where there is no --block-size option to
fsverity enable would always fail.

Eric,

You may consider adding a check for minimal version of
fsverity or check for support of --block-size option to make
this error reason more clear for testers.

Ted,

FYI, FSVERITY_GIT in fstests-bld/config points to an out of date URL

How come there is no ext4/cfg/verity in fstests-bld?
Are you guys not testing fsverity with fstests-bld?
Should we just add fsverity config or add verity to ext4/cfg/encrypt
instead to avoid growing the test matrix?

I can send patches for fstests-bld fixing the above if you like.

Alex,

Verified that your verity-tests2 work as expected with v5 patches.

Thanks,
Amir.
