Xfstest #5 broke because of a change in the VFS, which now allows up to 40 nested symlinks. So that's a matter of your xfstests being too old. The version of xfstests I've been using on my KVM box is too old to have test 232, so I haven't been able to test it. I've been trying to use a newer version of xfstests, but xfstests doesn't build on either Ubuntu 10.04 (LTS), Debian stable, or Debian unstable, due to the use of newer XFS ioctl's and xfsctl's that aren't defined in the system header files. The fact that it doesn't work on Ubuntu LTS and Stable is not that surprising, I suppose, but I was a bit disappointed that it doesn't work on Debian unstable. Since I don't have a Fedora system handy --- which header file are things like "struct xfs_flock64" supposed to be defined these days? - Ted
