[LTP] [PATCH] zram01: Specify filesystem type explicitly in mount

[LTP] [PATCH] zram01: Specify filesystem type explicitly in mount

[Avinesh Kumar via ltp]

util-linux 2.42 converts "ntfs" to "ntfs3" during auto-detection,
causing mount failures on systems with CONFIG_NTFS3_FS disabled
even when ntfs-3g is available.

tst_supported_fs_types.c:141: TINFO: FUSE does support ntfs
tst_supported_fs_types.c:67: TINFO: mkfs.ntfs does exist
tst_supported_fs_types.c:137: TINFO: Filesystem ntfs3 is not supported
...
...
zram01 6 TINFO: mount /dev/zram7
mount: /tmp/LTP_zram01.YG3YHQhMER/zram7: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs3'.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
zram01 6 TBROK: mount /dev/zram7 zram7 failed

Fix by specifying -t option with the filesystem type that LTP
verified as supported, avoiding auto-detection.

Nit: the rest of the file uses `$(($i + 1))` (e.g. zram_makefs). Prefer
`i=$(($i + 1))` here for consistency.

Good catch, but I'd prefer to use the form Avinesh posted (i.e. "i", not "$i").
And it's probably not worth to do the cleanup on the other place (neither in
this commit nor in the separate).

Kind regards,
Petr

I see from release notes [1]:

	The NTFS mount type (kernel FS driver) can be changed by the compile option
	--with-ntfs-mounttype=, the default is ntfs3.

As you already found I guess it started as PR#3618 [2] but later got
fixed/changed as PR#3872 [3] (previous attempt was PR#3807 [4]).

I guess there is nothing to be fixed in our lib/tst_supported_fs_types.c
(or even testcases/lib/tst_supported_fs.c which uses it) and there is no other
test using TST_ALL_FILESYSTEMS=1 which would need it.

Thanks for fixing this!
