+ util-linux regression tests
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ It's expected that for each invasive change or important bugfix you will
+ include a test to your patch.
+
+
+ Run all tests:
+
+ ./run.sh [--verbose]
+
+ Run subset of tests:
+
+ ./run.sh <test_directory-name>
+
+ for example:
+
+ ./run.sh blkid
+ ./run.sh fdisk
+
+
+
+ *** WARNING ***
+
+ The tests touch your /etc/fstab. Please, be careful and use
+ these tests only for development and never on production system.
