+pjdfstest test suite execution is integrated into kyua. This README describes
+how to use pjdfstest in the default configuration (kyua work directory), and
+with a specific filesystem path.
+
+Method 1. Executing with default configuration (kyua work directory)
+
+ 1. Elevate privileges:
+ % su -
+ 2. cd to the tests directory:
+ % cd /usr/tests/sys/pjdfstest
+ 3. Run kyua:
+ % kyua test
+
+ Executing the commands as shown above will run pjdfstest in the kyua work
+ directory. The kyua work directory defaults to a random generated path under
+ /tmp; please see TMPDIR in kyua(1) for more details on how the temporary path
+ is chosen with kyua.
+
+Method 2. Executing with a specific filesystem path (in this case /mnt)
+
+ 1. Elevate privileges:
+ % su -
+ 2. cd to the tests directory:
+ % cd /usr/tests/sys/pjdfstest
+ 3. Run kyua:
+ % env PJDFSTEST_TEST_PATH=/mnt kyua test
+
+ WARNING: the above method violates the test program isolation algorithm
+ described in kyua(1); as such, $PJDFSTEST_TEST_PATH must be cleaned up after
+ executing the testcases.
+
+ It's highly recommended that $PJDFSTEST_TEST_PATH be pointed to a sandboxed
+ filesystem, e.g. a small UFS-formatted memory disk or ZFS dataset with
+ quotas enabled, so the filesystem can be easily destroyed after the test
+ execution is complete, and the testcases are properly bounded both in terms
+ of time and space.
