Hm, I'm not sure *why* they require a writable image. Mostly they're just testing the interrupt routing.

There are no real failures with readonly=on although you do see init complain a bit about not being able to mount /dev and open log files. snapshot allows that to happen but doesn't change the underlying storage. > >> > @@ -56,11 +57,19 @@ def common_vm_setup(self): >> > "367962983d0d32109998a70b45dcee4672d0b045") >> > self.rootfs = self.get_asset("rootfs.ext4", >> > "f1478401ea4b3fa2ea196396be44315bab2bb5e4") >> > + if readwrite: >> > + dest = os.path.join(self.workdir, os.path.basename(self.rootfs)) >> > + shutil.copy(self.rootfs, dest) >> > + self.rootfs = dest >> >> This is a very expensive way of creating a writable disk.

But like your patch b9371a7b90 already fixes it. Dropping this one. Thanks! - Cleber.

Some of these tests actually require the root filesystem image, obtained through Avocado's asset feature and kept in a common cache location, to be writable. This makes a distinction between the tests that actually have this requirement and those who don't. The goal is to be as safe as possible, avoiding causing cache misses (because the assets get modified and thus need to be dowloaded again) while avoid copying the root filesystem backing file whenever possible. This also allow these tests to be run in parallel with newer Avocado versions.
