## Manual experiment
> [!NOTE]
> This manual experiment shows how we can do the testing (teardown not included). Note that we don't need the `losetup`-stuff, we know where everything is.
### Compile
```sh
gcc fs-watcher.c json-writer.c -o fa2json
```
### Create image file
```sh
mktemp /tmp/fa2json-test-XXXXXX.img
```
```text
/tmp/fa2json-test-UrwpOb.img
```
```sh
truncate -s 10M /tmp/fa2json-test-UrwpOb.img
```
```sh
mkfs.ext4 /tmp/fa2json-test-UrwpOb.img
```
```text

### Mount loop device
```sh
sudo mount /tmp/fa2json-test-UrwpOb.img /tmp/fa2json-mnt-ts2Dik/
```
> [!NOTE]
> In a different terminal I now ran - but we could do this after `chown` or possibly `chown` + `sync`?
> ```sh
> fa2json /tmp/fa2json-mnt-ts2Dik
> ```
### Let current user own file system
```sh
sudo chown $(id -u) /tmp/fa2json-mnt-ts2Dik/
```

```
### Touch marker
```sh
touch /tmp/fa2json-mnt-ts2Dik/MARKER
```
#### `fa2json` output
