Subject: [PATCH] formalize and fix disabling the RT subvolume
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 13:35:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630113526.3601287-1-hch@lst.de> (raw)
Various test unset SCRATCH_RTDEV to avoid dealing with metadata
allocations for the RT subvolume in the main device or differences
in RT subvolume behavior. Besides being rather ad-hoc, this unset
also fails to disable the internal RT zoned subvolume.
Add a _disable_scratch_realtime helper that not only unsets
SCRATCH_RTDEV, but also disables the zoned allocator and with
that the internal RT subvolume.
