Hi Zorro What do you think this patch or should I just add a 'x' string when comparing get_value/new_value, then just remind user they may hit a old xfsprogs bug f4afdcb0a ("xfs_db: clean up the salvage read callsites in set_cur()"). Best Regards Yang Xu > Currently, this case fails on old xfsprogs as below: > +/var/lib/xfstests/tests/xfs/270: line 51: [: !=: unary operator expected > > Getting ro_compat value will report the following error after setting new ro_compat > value: > +cache_purge: shake on cache 0x56033fde4920 left 1 nodes!? > +cache_purge: shake on cache 0x56033fde4920 left 1 nodes!? > +cache_zero_check: refcount is 1, not zero (node=0x56033fdf9110 > > Old xfsprogs miss a bugfix > f4afdcb0ad ("xfs_db: clean up the salvage read callsites in set_cur()"). > > Here we skip the get step of new ro_comap value when nrext64 feature is supported. > Also will add a new test to cover this xfsprog bug. > > Signed-off-by: Yang Xu<xuyang2018.jy@xxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > tests/xfs/270 | 23 ++++++++++++++++------- > 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/tests/xfs/270 b/tests/xfs/270 > index b740c379..5ff83ead 100755 > --- a/tests/xfs/270 > +++ b/tests/xfs/270 > @@ -22,6 +22,10 @@ _require_scratch_nocheck > # Only V5 XFS disallow rw mount/remount with unknown ro-compat features > _require_scratch_xfs_crc > > +nrext64_supported=0 > +_scratch_mkfs_xfs_supported -m crc=1 -i nrext64> /dev/null 2>&1&& \ > + nrext64_supported=1 > + > _scratch_mkfs_xfs>>$seqres.full 2>&1 > > # set the highest bit of features_ro_compat, use it as an unknown > @@ -43,13 +47,18 @@ ro_compat=$(echo $ro_compat | \ > _scratch_xfs_set_metadata_field "features_ro_compat" "$ro_compat" "sb 0" \ > > $seqres.full 2>&1 > > -# read the newly set ro compat filed for verification > -new_ro_compat=$(_scratch_xfs_get_metadata_field "features_ro_compat" "sb 0" \ > - 2>/dev/null) > - > -# verify the new ro_compat field is correct. > -if [ $new_ro_compat != $ro_compat ]; then > - echo "Unable to set new features_ro_compat.
