[Stable-7.2.14 30/40] iotests: Add `vvfat` tests
Posted by Michael Tokarev 2 months, 2 weeks ago
From: Amjad Alsharafi <amjadsharafi10@gmail.com>

Added several tests to verify the implementation of the vvfat driver.

We needed a way to interact with it, so created a basic `fat16.py` driver
that handled writing correct sectors for us.

Added `vvfat` to the non-generic formats, as its not a normal image format.
