Understood, so I'll look into this based on how much work is needed and how hardly we want it on RHEL6.8/9/etc. > > Of course, people testing older distros always have the option of > not upgrading xfstests every time a commit is made.... :P Yes, we use a fixed version of xfstests to test RHEL5, and RHEL6 is almost reaching that maintaince-only phase too. > > > I haven't figured out a better way, but I was thinking about tweaking > > _scratch_mkfs_xfs or $MKFS_XFS_PROG based on mkfs.xfs supports crc or > > not. > > I'd suggest that we should look at filtering this out in > _scratch_options, based on some environment variable that you set in > the .config files for the older distros. e.g. > > mkfs) > + if [ -n "$MKFS_HAS_NO_META_SUPPORT" ]; then > + # strip "-m ..." options > + SCRATCH_OPTIONS=`<insert sed magic here>` > + fi I was thinking about _scratch_options too, I'll follow this way and see.
