Subject: [PATCH V3] xfstests: use stat not lstat when examining devices
Date: Fri, 04 Jun 2010 13:00:02 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C093F22.1010006@sandeen.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4C0939B9.9000109@sandeen.net>

If you try running xfstests on lvm volumes which are symlinks,
it'll fail to run several tests because our _require_scratch 
framework ultimately uses lstat not stat, and does not think 
the lvm device (which is usually a symlink to a dm-X device) 
is a block device.  Sigh.

Just calling stat(1) with -L to follow the link should
suffice.
