Some filesystems do not support negative c/m/atime timestamps. And for these filesystems, generic/258 will fail. Since there's currently no way to check sb->s_time_min from userspace, this patch adds a new common/rc function _require_negative_timestamps() that will _notrun depending on the $FSTYP variable. Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques <lhenriques@xxxxxxxx> --- Hi! I'm only adding 'ceph' to the _require_negative_timestamps() case because that was the only filesystem with s_time_min = 0 that I was able to test. However, a simple grep indicates there are a few other filesystems that would also be required there (e.g. nfs version < 4).
