Subject: [PATCH v2] f2fs/011: use random data to avoid file compression
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2025 05:45:40 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251030054540.278518-1-joannechien@google.com> (raw)

Currently, the created files are filled with 0. When filesystem level
compression is used, they take up much less space than expected. So
the final fallocate does not show an error.

The created files are filled by /dev/urandom instead to ensure they
are not compressed. This way the files take up the same space whether
compression is used or not.
