Subject: [bug report] xfs/802 failure due to mssing fstype report by lsblk
Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2026 08:40:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aYWobEmDn0jSPzqo@shinmob> (raw)
Hello Darrick,
Recently, my fstests run for null_blk (8GiB size) as SCRATCH_DEV failed at
xfs/802 [3]. I took a look and observed following points:
1) xfs_scrub_all command ran as expected. Even though SCRATCH_DEV is mounted,
it did not scrub SCRATCH_DEV. Hence the failure.
2) xfs_scrub_all uses lsblk command to list all mounted xfs filesystems [1].
However, lsblk command does not report that SCRATCH_DEV is mounted as xfs.
3) I leanred that lsblk command refers to udev database [2], and udev database
sometimes fails to update the filesystem information. This is the case for
the null_blk as SCRATCH_DEV on my test nodes.
Based on these observations, I think there are two points to improve:
1) I found "blkid -p" command reports that null_blk is mounted as xfs, even when
lsblk does not report it. I think xfs_scrub_all can be modified to use
"blkid -p" instead of lsblk to find out xfs filesystems mounted.
2) When there are other xfs filesystems on the test node than TEST_DEV or
SCRATCH_DEV, xfs_scrub_all changes the status of them. This does not sound
good to me since it affects system status out of the test targets block
devices. I think he test case can be improved to check that there is no other
xfs filesystems mounted other than TEST_DEV or SCRATCH_DEV/s. If not, the
test case should be skipped.
At this moment, I don't have time to create patches for the improvements above.
If anyone can work on them, it will be appreciated.
