The SGI XFS group talked about your proposed changes to xfstests and the 
response is very positive.

The couple concerns are:

1) There is a consensus in the group that the benchmark framework
    should remain until there is a common benchmark available.

    Could the benchmark infrastructure be placed into its own directory
    until a new common benchmark framework has been adopted?

2) Could there be a single result directory rather than mirroring the
    test hierarchy? A single directory can eventually become uniquely
    identified and also be easier to upload to a result depository.


Lastly, there are a couple minor link issues:

1) In tests xfs/071, xfs/096 and generic/097 the links are missing the
    $RESULT_DIR and the links are being made on the top directory. For
    example in generic/097:

- rm -rf $seq.out
+ rm -rf $RESULT_DIR/$seq.out
if [ "$FSTYP" == "xfs" ]; then
-     ln -s $seq.out.xfs $seq.out
+     ln -s $RESULT_DIR/$seq.out.xfs $RESULT_DIR/$seq.out
else
-     ln -s -$seq.out.udf $seq.out
+     ln -s $RESULT_DIR/$seq.out.udf $RESULT_DIR/$seq.out
fi

2) In patch 18, the old link needs to be removed in _link_out_file()
    routine to prevent "File exists" errors on subsequent runs of the
    scripts.

  _link_out_file()
  {
-   if [ -z "$1" ]; then
-      echo Error must pass \$seq.
-      exit
-   fi
-   rm -f $1
-   if [ "`uname`" == "IRIX64" ] || [ "`uname`" == "IRIX" ]; then
-      ln -s $1.irix $1
-   elif [ "`uname`" == "Linux" ]; then
-      ln -s $1.linux $1
-   else
-      echo Error test $seq does not run on the operating system: `uname`
-      exit
-   fi
+	if [ -z "$1" -o -z "$2" ]; then
+		echo Error must pass src and dst.
+		exit
+	fi
+	rm -f $1
               ^^^ should that be $2?

Thank-you,
