<title>Installation of btrfs-progs</title>
<para>
Install <application>btrfs-progs</application> by running the following
commands:
</para>
<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-documentation &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>
<note>
<para>
Some tests require grep built with perl regular expressions. To
obtain this, rebuild grep with the LFS Chapter 8 instructions after
installing <xref linkend="pcre2"/>.
</para>
</note>
<!-- Keeping this for now, but it seems that calling "make test" is
simpler and does the same thing -->
<para>
Before running tests, build a support program:
</para>
<screen remap="test"><userinput>make fssum</userinput></screen>
<para>
To test the results, issue (as the &root; user):
</para>
<screen role="root" remap="test"><userinput>pushd tests
./fsck-tests.sh
./mkfs-tests.sh
./cli-tests.sh
./convert-tests.sh
./misc-tests.sh
./fuzz-tests.sh
popd</userinput></screen>
<!-- Template for failed test removal:
<para>
To test the results, first disable one test that fails and prevents
the other ones to run:
</para>
<screen remap="test"><userinput>mv tests/fsck-tests/012-leaf-corruption/test.sh{,.broken}</userinput></screen>
Substitute your test failure with the one above.
<para>
To test the results, run (as the
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user):
</para>
<screen role="root" remap="test"><userinput>make -j1 -k test</userinput></screen>
-->
<note>
<para>
If the above mentioned kernel options are not enabled, some tests
fail, and prevent all the remaining tests to run because the test
disk image is not cleanly unmounted.
</para>
</note>
<para>
The mkfs test 025-zoned-parallel is known to fail.
</para>
<para>
