fsx already accepts a seed parameter; with the seed can't we simply replay
the operations by specifying the same seed with -S? And for narrowing down,
there's -D startingop and -N numops; doesn't that suffice?
And we already get an fsxlog like:
skipping zero size read
skipping insert range behind EOF
3 mapwrite 0x2e836 thru 0x3cba1 (0xe36c bytes)
4 insert from 0x12000 to 0x15000, (0x3000 bytes)
5 punch from 0xfb60 to 0x16c20, (0x70c0 bytes)
6 falloc from 0x31645 to 0x38d1d (0x76d8 bytes)
7 punch from 0x207c8 to 0x2224e, (0x1a86 bytes)
8 mapwrite 0xbcf1 thru 0x171ab (0xb4bb bytes)
9 collapse from 0x8000 to 0x13000, (0xb000 bytes)
...
from i.e. generic/075, but the cleanup function:
_cleanup()
{
cd /
rm -rf $TEST_DIR/fsx.* $tmp.*
}
removes it (even on a failure, I think, but I'm not certain).
Can't we just leverage what fsx already provides? I'm not sure what this
patch adds on top of that, am I missing something?
Thanks,
