Is there somewhere where the current test cases for xfs reside? I can test on both physical arm h/w and in a virtualized environment on arm. However, for the most part, arm32 doesn't use Anaconda; images are generated by Releng with kickstarts. That said, I can spin up some test images and post them if there is enough interest.
