Subject: [PATCH] generic/730: skip on ext4 when dax is enabled
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 13:48:12 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260318081812.47870-1-disgoel@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
The generic/730 test utilizes the scsi_debug driver to create a
synthetic SCSI block device for testing. However, scsi_debug does
not support DAX capabilities.
When xfstests is configured with DAX mount options, ext4 strictly
validates the block device during the mount phase. This results
in a mount failure:
EXT4-fs (sdc): DAX unsupported by block device.
Skip this test for ext4 when the 'dax' mount option is present to
avoid false failures.
