On XFS the test device is always mounted, but the scratch device > is never mounted before the test starts. Yes, as _require_test always mounts TEST_DEV and _require_scratch_nocheck always umounts SCRATCH_DEV. > > Hmmm, maybe this is one of those weird things that different with > nonblock filesystems...? > > > IOW, instead of unmounting scratch just before the test runs, seems > > better to make sure it is unmounted at the end of each test and before > > starting the loop. > > > > Note that for a test with _require_scratch_nocheck, _check_filesystems() > > will unmount scratch, but for a test with _require_scratch, _check_scratch_fs() > > will unmount+fsck+mount scratch - inconsistent. > > Or am I reading this wrong? For tests that don't call _require_scratch{_nocheck}, to make sure SCRATCH_DEV is umounted I think we could just call _scratch_unmount unconditionally in _check_filesystems(), then we could wipefs before test safely. > > > > > > > + test -x "$WIPEFS_PROG" && $WIPEFS_PROG -a $SCRATCH_DEV_POOL $SCRATCH_DEV $SCRATCH_LOGDEV $SCRATCH_RTDEV > > > > Please check that $SCRATCH_DEV is not a network name (nfs|cifs) and that it > > is really a blockdev (overlayfs) before trying to wipefs.
