Sorry, I was kind of thinking this as well on my first review, but I let it pass. I would say that for now, let's just use TEST_DEV. There is no reason to code around "what-if" scenarios. If a filesystem ends up needing a special mkfs or mount option to expose a sysfs tunable in the future, we can add a device name at that point. Until then, I don't think there is any reason, and the "mkfs first, then require" is definitely a little bit out of the ordinary. -Eric -- 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
