Old xfsprogs can't change attr hdr.count to 0 on v5 filesystems, two reasons maybe cause this issue: 1) This commit has been merged: 89baf918(xfs_db: write values into dir/attr blocks and recalculate CRCs). 2) xfs_db write command doesn't support -d option. That's not a real bug, so skip this test if xfs_db can't set attr hdr.count to 0. Signed-off-by: Zorro Lang <zlang@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi, V2 tried to bring in a common function named _require_xfs_db_write_da(): https://marc.info/?l=linux-xfs&m=153301569124126&w=2 But by talking with #xfs channel, I drop that common function, only change in xfs/288 inside now.
