Sure - i'm just pointing out that you don't need RPM to do that - git it just as good for deploying automated testing infrastructure ;) .... > Notice for example that ext4 is a testsuite selection in the testsuite > pull down.

It appears to be a "can we install opensuse" installer test that happens to be run on ext4. i.e. it's really product level testing (i.e. whether the opensuse build worked) not whether the filesystem works as it's supposed to. > I don't see automated tests for xfs or btrfs which is a surprise since > both of them are default filesystem choices for factory. (btrfs is > the default choice for / and xfs is the default for /home). Seeing as it's not actually doing filesystem level testing, it probably doesn't matter at all.
