1. This function try to run $XFS_IO_PROG -c "$command help", that's wrong. It should be "help $command". 2. The $param can't be used for all command's options, for example "help pwrite" include: -Z N -- zeed the random number generator (used when writing randomly) (heh, zorry, the -s/-S arguments were already in use in pwrite) We should make param="-Z N", not only "-Z". After this patch, we can run this function as: _require_xfs_io_command pwrite -Z N Signed-off-by: Zorro Lang <zlang@xxxxxxxxxx> --- common/rc | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/common/rc b/common/rc index 51092a0..3b87d7e 100644 --- a/common/rc +++ b/common/rc @@ -1874,7 +1874,8 @@ _require_xfs_io_command() exit 1 fi command=$1 - param=$2 + shift + param="$*" testfile=$TEST_DIR/$$.xfs_io case $command in @@ -1896,7 +1897,7 @@ _require_xfs_io_command() _notrun "xfs_io $command support is missing" ;; *) - testio=`$XFS_IO_PROG -c "$command help" 2>&1` + testio=`$XFS_IO_PROG -c "help $command" 2>&1` esac rm -f $testfile 2>&1 > /dev/null -- 2.5.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe fstests" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
