This test compiles an earlier commit from the tree that is starting to fail due to various changes on the OS level, most recently due to sparse issues with newer kernel headers. This problem will likely increase in the future as we add more supported releases. We opt to just only run this test on el7 for now. While we could have made this skip sparse checks that fail it on el8, it will suffice at this point if this just works on one of the supported OS versions during testing.

Introduction
scoutfs is a clustered in-kernel Linux filesystem designed to support large archival systems. It features additional interfaces and metadata so that archive agents can perform their maintenance workflows without walking all the files in the namespace. Its cluster support lets deployments add nodes to satisfy archival tier bandwidth targets.
The design goal is to reach file populations in the trillions, with the archival bandwidth to match, while remaining operational and responsive.
Highlights of the design and implementation include:
- Fully consistent POSIX semantics between nodes
- Atomic transactions to maintain consistent persistent structures
- Integrated archival metadata replaces syncing to external databases
- Dynamic seperation of resources lets nodes write in parallel
- 64bit throughout; no limits on file or directory sizes or counts
- Open GPLv2 implementation
