This is not how this test should be run. It should run as a normal test on ext4 or any other fs that supports casefold. When you run check -g casefold, the generic test generic/556 will be run if the test fs supports casefold (e.g. ext4). The new added test belongs to the same group and should run if you run check -g casefold if the test fs supports casefold (e.g. ext4). > but we might as > well discuss this in a dedicated xfstest email thread if you want to > send a RFC for the test. > > [1] > https://github.com/amir73il/xfstests/commit/03b3facf60e14cab9fc563ad54893563b4cb18e4 > > Can you point me to a branch with your ovl patches, so I can pull it for testing? Feel free to fix the 2 minor review comments on v5 in your branch. Thanks, Amir.
