From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx> When running the test generic/269 against a fast scratch device (loopback device backed by a file on tmpfs) I often got a test failure due to the fact that the fsstress job had already completed before the test attempted to kill it, producing the following failure output: generic/269 91s ... - output mismatch (see .../generic/269.out.bad) --- tests/generic/269.out 2014-11-17 20:59:50.974203000 +0000 +++ /home/fdmanana/git/hub/xfstests/results//generic/269.out.bad 2015-11-13 15:41:59.669893035 +0000 @@ -3,3 +3,4 @@ Run fsstress Run dd writers in parallel +./tests/generic/269: line 59: kill: (13417) - No such process ... (Run 'diff -u tests/generic/269.out .../generic/269.out.bad' to see the entire diff) So fix this false failure by redirecting the standard output and error from the kill into the seq file.
