If the ESP is not mounted with "iocharset=ascii", but with "iocharset=utf8"
(which is for example the default in Debian), the file system becomes case
sensitive. This means that a file created as "FooBarBaz" cannot be accessed as
"foobarbaz" since those are then considered different files.
Moreover, a file created as "FooBar" can then also not be accessed as "foobar",
and it also prevents such a file from being created, as both would use the same
8.3 short name "FOOBAR".
Even though the UEFI specification [0] does give the canonical spelling for
the files mentioned above, not all implementations completely conform to that,
so it's possible that those files would already exist, but with a different
spelling, causing subtle bugs when scanning or modifying the ESP.
While the proper fix would of course be that everybody conformed to the
standard, we can work around this problem by just referencing the files by
their 8.3 short names, i.e. using upper case.

The extended testsuite only works with uid=0. It contains of several
subdirectories named "test/TEST-??-*", which are run one by one.
To run the extended testsuite do the following:
$ make all
$ cd test
$ sudo make clean check
...
make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/data/harald/git/systemd/test/TEST-01-BASIC'
Making all in .
Making all in po
TEST: Basic systemd setup [OK]
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/data/harald/git/systemd/test/TEST-01-BASIC'
...
If one of the tests fails, then $subdir/test.log contains the log file of
the test.
To debug a special testcase of the testsuite do:
$ make all
$ cd test/TEST-01-BASIC
$ sudo make clean setup run
QEMU
====
If you want to log in the testsuite virtual machine, you can specify
additional kernel command line parameter with $KERNEL_APPEND.
$ sudo make KERNEL_APPEND="systemd.unit=multi-user.target" clean setup run
you can even skip the "clean" and "setup" if you want to run the machine again.
$ sudo make KERNEL_APPEND="systemd.unit=multi-user.target" run
You can specify a different kernel and initramfs with $KERNEL_BIN and $INITRD.
(Fedora's or Debian's default kernel path and initramfs are used by default)
$ sudo make KERNEL_BIN=/boot/vmlinuz-foo INITRD=/boot/initramfs-bar clean check
A script will try to find your QEMU binary. If you want to specify a different
one you can use $QEMU_BIN.
$ sudo make QEMU_BIN=/path/to/qemu/qemu-kvm clean check
