Sharyathi,

You may also provide a command line option for the user to be able to 
specify the test path. And then check if this path is on a ext4 file 
system or not. And if there is no path provided, the default behavior may 
be to look for a ext4 partition, create a temp directory and execute your 
test in it; as Subrata has suggested.

Amit Arora

Ok, why don“t we/you search for the EXT4 file system before starting
testing from inside your test case (in this from each of the 3 test
cases) to find out the existence of EXT4 file system, if any in that
system. Run the tests only if it exists, else exit with appropriate
message. Moreover, try to create a temp directory in that file system,
if at all it exists, and then go ahead with the test.
And Also the Makefile for this? Send me a Patch which would add up all
the test cases as well as the Makefile for them, after all the issues
are resolved
