I've tried the image - the awk and quota tools problems are fixed, but the
missing files in root noted above are still missing.  I was able to get a
successful 4k run after copying the missing files into the root directory
from the xfstests-bld tree.  There are a number of test failures that didn't
occur in my test baseline, much as before, but nothing yet obviously caused
by the test appliance itself.

Thanks,
Eric
