Most of the space consumption occurs via the background fsstress workload. Remove the fsstress -w option that suppresses non-write operations. This slightly reduces the storage footprint while still providing a background workload for the test. Signed-off-by: Brian Foster --- Dave, I was able to squeeze an xfs/013 run into a 3GB ramdisk on my VM with this tweak. Let me know if this works for you. If not, we could probably start turning off some of the heavier allocating fsstress ops so long as the cost isn't too much. I'm measuring the effectiveness of this test via the fibt stats exported to /proc.
