Last night I had xfstests running and after a while it hung at shared/032 because I had reiser4progs installed and it was waiting for input: ----------------------------------------------------------------- mkfs -t reiser4 /dev/ram0 mkfs.reiser4 1.2.1 Format release: 4.0.2 Copyright (C) 2001-2005 by Hans Reiser, licensing governed by reiser4progs/COPYING. Block size 4096 will be used. Linux 5.5.0-rc5-amd64 is detected. Uuid 2006a590-832a-49f5-9317-cf91bf866dd7 will be used. Reiser4 is going to be created on /dev/ram0. (Yes/No): ----------------------------------------------------------------- The patch below adds an option (cf. reiserfs the line above) so that the test continues. Curiously enough the test still "succeeds" for reiser{fs,4} (and jfs too) because the userspace tools don't appear to have a routine to check for "contains an existing filesystem", but that could be addressed in a different patch.
