From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> Having built fstests as root as part of a run script, I get failures then trying to run it as a user because of the group list generation. The issue occurs because the group list files are owned by root, and so I get an interactive prompt to overwrite them such as: Building btrfs [GROUP] /home/dave/src/xfstests-dev/tests/btrfs/group.list mv: replace 'group.list', overriding mode 0644 (rw-r--r--)? y Building ceph [GROUP] /home/dave/src/xfstests-dev/tests/ceph/group.list mv: replace 'group.list', overriding mode 0644 (rw-r--r--)? y Building cifs [GROUP] /home/dave/src/xfstests-dev/tests/cifs/group.list mv: replace 'group.list', overriding mode 0644 (rw-r--r--)? y Building ext4 [GROUP] /home/dave/src/xfstests-dev/tests/ext4/group.list ... Use 'mv -f' to ignore such trivial issues so that the new group lists are written correctly.
