If that is a problem for older bash versions, then there's going
systemic problems throughout the xfstests suite. The let expression
is used about 80 different places, and I don't see anything special
about test 215 that makes it any different from other uses. i might
be missing something, but there's not much context to go on from
your changelog....

Perhaps upgrading your version of bash might be a better approach?

Cheers,

Dave.
