The case I remember and was basing this off was commit 448efe1 ("generic/017: Do not create file systems with different block sizes") where you made the argument that we shouldn't be setting mkfs parameters inside the test and instead those specific cases would be tested by using test-wide mkfs parameters.... I don't recall any other discussion, so maybe you should remind me of it.... Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@fromorbit.com
