What a mess. A hand built, hopelessly broken filesystem image made
up of hex dumps, written into a mmap()d region of memory, then
copied into a tmpfs file and mounted with the loop device.

Engineers that can debug broken filesystems don't grow on trees.  If
we are to have any hope of understanding what the hell this test is
doing, the bot needs to supply us with a copy of the built
filesystem image the test uses. We need to be able to point forensic
tools at the image to decode all the structures into human readable
format - if we are forced to do that by hand or jump through hoops
to create our own filesystem image than I'm certainly not going to
waste time looking at these reports...

Cheers,

Dave.
