Reg: sys/geom/class/eli/misc_test:preserve_disk_props skipped

Hi All,

We are from Intel - and we are trying to run the kyua framework tests with both software crypto acceleration providers and also Intel QAT HW.
We want a clarification on the kyua tests - sys/geom/class/eli/misc_test: preserve_disk_props  which is by default skipped and requires configuration property 'disks'.
We are not sure of how to set this property and get this test unskipped. Could someone please guide us in this regard?

Steps to reproduce the skipped behavior:

cd /usr/tests
kyua test sys/geom/class/eli/misc_test
sys/geom/class/eli/misc_test:physpath  ->  passed  [0.070s]
sys/geom/class/eli/misc_test:preserve_disk_props  ->  skipped: Required configuration property 'disks' not defined  [0.001s]
sys/geom/class/eli/misc_test:preserve_props  ->  passed  [0.040s]
sys/geom/class/eli/misc_test:unaligned_io  ->  passed  [2.935s]

Results file id is usr_tests.20250403-124541-697370
Results saved to /root/.kyua/store/results.usr_tests.20250403-124541-697370.db

3/4 passed (0 broken, 0 failed, 1 skipped)

Below log is from kyua report of the whole test list sys/geom/class/eli/:

We tried to create virtual disks using dd command and gave the property in the kyua.conf file as below:
cat /etc/kyua.conf
[eli]
disks = ["/dev/md0", "/dev/md1", "/dev/md2"]


We also tried to export DISKS parameter like below.

export DISKS="/dev/md0"

Example:

Creating a dummy disk for the test:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/dummy_disk.img bs=1M count=10
mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /tmp/dummy_disk.img -u 0

Setting disks property and running test:
export DISKS="/dev/md0" or Having disks set in kyua.conf
kyua test sys/geom/class/eli/misc_test

Cleanup:

mdconfig -d -u 0



We still got the tests to skipped. Could you please help in guiding us to run the tests without skipping them.
Any required documentation on the same would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards,
Haresh
