Subject: [PATCH] shared/272: fail quickly on mkfs errors and improve logging
Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2014 15:50:04 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140930195004.GB5803@wallace> (raw)

272 will log diagnostic information if it fails to make its scratch file
system, but the test itself won't fail immediately.  If the scratch
device had previously contained a valid filesystem, and the attempt to
make a small scratch file system on it fails, 272 will mount and run on
the pre-existing file system (as seen during ext4 inline data testing).
Since 272 tests to ENOSPC, it can take a long time to learn mkfs failed.
This behavior can also lead to invalid positive test results unless
272.full is examined separately.
