Here we go.  So far, I didn't run the tests marked as ``root-only'' or
``very expensive''.

Correct, not supported so far.

Correct, no `/proc/' support by default so far.

possibly
| ../../../tests/du/8gb: because file offsets are only 32 bits on this file 
system
| SKIP: 8gb

Would have to check what's up with that one.  (As well as for the others
further down the list, the ones where I didn't put specific comments.)

It's for sure not an xfs file system, but an ext2 one.  We don't maintain
something like `/proc/mounts' or `/etc/mtab', so running `df' without
explicitly specifying a directory to work on won't work:

df: cannot read table of mounted file systems
$ echo $?

Correct, we don't have `strace', but instead could offer `rpctrace' to
``Trace Mach Remote Procedure Calls'', which roughly is `strace''s
equivalent.
