From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> According to the bash man page: OPTIND is initialized to 1 each time the shell or a shell script is invoked. This doesn't appear to be true - in tests scripts with no other getopts calls, I'm seeing the getopts loop in _xfs_check to fail to parse input parameters correctly. Tracing shows the parameters are being passed to _xfs_check correctly, but on occassion getopts simply doesn't see the, Hence when running tests with both external log and real time devices, tests are failing at random because xfs_check is mis-parsing the parameters passed to it and not configuring the external log correctly: _check_xfs_filesystem: filesystem on /dev/sdg is inconsistent (c) *** xfs_check output *** aborting - no external log specified for FS with an external log *** end xfs_check output Fix this by ensuring OPTIND is correctly initialised before using getopts. Do it for all places that call getopts that don't already set OPTIND=1 before starting their parsing loop.
