These KVM test appliance images are designed to be used with the kvm-xfstests system which can be found here: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/ext2/xfstests-bld.git If you are testing a 32-bit x86 kernel you must use the root_fs.img.i386. If you are using a 64-bit x86 kernel, you may use either the i386 or x86_64 root_fs.img file. Information on how to use these images can be found at the Quick Start guide, located at: https://github.com/tytso/xfstests-bld/blob/master/Documentation/kvm-quickstart.md The "corresponding source" of the GPL binaries found in these KVM images can be found in the source packages from this snapshot of Debian distribution's "bookworm" release: https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20240531T083821Z/ ... as well as the following git repositories: blktests e7c1732 (Fri, 20 Dec 2024 17:49:56 +0900) fio fio-3.38 (Wed, 2 Oct 2024 12:53:13 -0600) fsverity v1.6 (Wed, 20 Mar 2024 21:21:46 -0700) ima-evm-utils v1.5 (Mon, 6 Mar 2023 07:40:07 -0500) libaio libaio-0.3.108-82-gb8eadc9 (Thu, 2 Jun 2022 13:33:11 +0200) ltp 20240930-142-g52805efd1 (Fri, 20 Dec 2024 13:06:48 +0100) quota v4.05-69-g68952f1 (Mon, 7 Oct 2024 15:45:56 -0400) util-linux v2.40.2 (Thu, 4 Jul 2024 09:59:17 +0200) xfsprogs v6.12.0 (Mon, 2 Dec 2024 22:40:29 +0100) xfstests v2024.12.22-11-g30d5e1933 (Tue, 24 Dec 2024 10:18:57 -0500) xfstests-bld ad8889ba (Mon, 23 Dec 2024 12:10:25 -0500) zz_build-distro bookworm The gen-image script found in the test-appliance directory of the xfstests-bld git repository, plus Debian bookworm's debootstrap, constitutes the scripts used to control the creation of these KVM images.
