Hi all,
We would like to support the usage of casefold layers with overlayfs to
be used with container tools. This use case requires a simple setup,
where every layer will have the same encoding setting (i.e. Unicode
version and flags), using one upper and one lower layer.
Amir,
I tried to run your xfstest for casefolded ovl[1] but I can see that it
still requires some work. I tried to fix some of the TODO's but I didn't
managed to mkfs the base fs with casefold enabled...
When you write mkfs the base fs, I suspect that you are running
check -overlay or something.
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).
I see, I used `check -overlay` indeed, thanks!
Yeh that's a bit confusing I'll admit.
It's an overlayfs test that "does not run on overlayfs"
but requires extra overlayfs:
_exclude_fs overlay
_require_extra_fs overlay
Because it does the overlayfs mount itself.
That's the easiest way to test features (e.g. casefold) in basefs
I tried to run the new test, which is able to mount an overlayfs
with layers with disabled casefolding with kernel 6.17-rc1.
It does not even succeed in passing this simple test with
your patches, so something is clearly off.
Apart from the other changes I had done for v6, I also had to change the
test itself. The directories need to be empty to set the +F attribute,
so I had to do this change:
Nice, so I suppose this test is passing with v6. I will try it.
Can you help to complete the TODO:
Yes, I will handle that next week.
Thanks!
