Is it possible that you make repo for xfstests which contain changes
what you have done for it. Testing example 274 will need modifications
to xfstests so testing this will take too much time for me.

Hopefully we will get ntfs3 support to upstream xfstest but I totally
understand if you do not have time for it. That is why I ask that just
make repo for github and just but your changes to there so that someone
can make upstream support.
