Hi, we have many fstests that call _scratch_mount without checking if the mount was successful. When the mount fails, the tests then write to the underlying filesystem. Here's a list of fstests that do this for gfs2: generic/029 generic/030 generic/032 generic/037 generic/053 generic/069 generic/071 generic/084 generic/094 generic/098 generic/103 generic/105 generic/109 generic/129 generic/130 generic/132 generic/162 generic/163 generic/169 generic/204 generic/225 generic/231 generic/232 generic/233 generic/235 generic/256 generic/294 generic/306 generic/319 generic/320 generic/337 generic/361 generic/374 generic/377 generic/380 generic/390 generic/401 generic/403 generic/412 generic/416 generic/422 generic/427 generic/439 generic/449 generic/452 generic/453 generic/454 generic/460 generic/464 generic/476 This is after fixing generic/270 which even fills up the scratch mount point completely. Since _scratch_mount is mostly used without checking for success, can we change it to _fail by default, and introduce _try_check_mount or similar for those few cases where we don't want to fail implicitly?
