As of now xfstests decides if a filesystem supports attributes by trying to write one to the mount point. For some reason this fails on reiserfs, making it impossible to run tests that _require_attrs. Fix this by checking against $TEST_DIR/syscalltest instead of $TEST_DIR. This is probably what was intended, since the syscalltest file is touched right before running attr. It is also consistent with how the check for acl support is done. Signed-off-by: Ernesto A.
