Description

Currently FAT, NTFS and XFS are supported in code. Also test with various boot tables. I think we test with MBT and GPT in the VHD and VHDX respectively, but should also test LVM.

NTFS is currently tested implicitly in the VHDX test.
FAT is currently tested implicitly in the VHD test.
