If _mkfs_dev fialed,the test should notrun. _mkfs_dev may need to return mkfs_status as _scratch_mkfs_ext4 and _scratch_mkfs_xfs do. Signed-off-by: Sun Ke <sunke32@xxxxxxxxxx> --- I run generic/test/042 on f2fs, it failed, because the device size is too small: F2FS-tools: mkfs.f2fs Ver: 1.9.0 (2017-09-21) Info: Disable heap-based policy Info: Debug level = 0 Info: Label = Info: Trim is enabled Info: Segments per section = 1 Info: Sections per zone = 1 Info: sector size = 512 Info: total sectors = 51200 (25 MB) Info: zone aligned segment0 blkaddr: 512 Error: Device size is not sufficient for F2FS volume Error: Failed to prepare a super block!!! Error: Could not format the device!!! Change the device size to 40M, it can pass. But I am not sure if it will change the test's intention.
