Ah, some days I need more coffee than others :/

As it is, that test does not fail on my DAX testing on RAM disks.
ISTR it failing up until recently, though. Yeah:

$ cd ~/src/xfstests-dev; sudo mkfs.xfs -f /dev/ram0 ; sudo xfs_admin -U generate /dev/ram0 ; sudo MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o dax" ./check -g auto
SECTION       -- xfs
FSTYP         -- xfs (debug)
PLATFORM      -- Linux/x86_64 test4 4.3.0-dgc+
MKFS_OPTIONS  -- -f -bsize=4096 /dev/ram1
MOUNT_OPTIONS -- -o dax /dev/ram1 /mnt/scratch
....
generic/083 2s ... 1s
_check_xfs_filesystem: filesystem on /dev/ram1 is inconsistent (c) (see /home/dave/src/xfstests-dev/results//xfs/generic/083.full)
_check_xfs_filesystem: filesystem on /dev/ram1 is inconsistent (r) (see /home/dave/src/xfstests-dev/results//xfs/generic/083.full)
....

But as I ran earlier today when testing the ENOSPC fix:

PLATFORM      -- Linux/x86_64 test4 4.4.0-rc2-dgc+
MKFS_OPTIONS  -- -f -bsize=4096 /dev/ram1
MOUNT_OPTIONS -- -o dax /dev/ram1 /mnt/scratch
....
generic/083 1s ... 2s
....

So I'm seeing that the current 4.4-rc2 + my local dev tree patches
appear to have fixed whatever was causing generic/083 to fail
here...

What version of xfsprogs are you using, Ross?

Cheers,

Dave.
