I noticed that btrfs wasn't setting unwritten on prealloc test, and then

only with prealloc enabled.  Thanks,

Fails on XFS, but that's because XFS is doing things fiemap-tester
does not understand (speculative prealloc beyond EOF when appending
writes occur on files larger than 64k) and hence XFS ends up with
zeroed data on disk in places where fiemaptester is expecting
preallocated blocks.

i.e. there's not data corruption, and nothing wrong with XFS's
behaioviour, just a broken assumption that the filesystem will lay
out data due to buffered writes and delayed allocation exactly as it
expects.

IOWs, i think that fiemap-tester might need to direct IO to get the
results it expects, not buffered IO...


Huh crap I thought I caught this case, but now I look at it I only caught it for the HOLE case not the PREALLOC case, so I'll fix up the tester to check if there's 0's where there should be a prealloc.

The log file to use for debug information is $seqres.full.


I'll fix it up, thanks,

Josef
