"if (not an empty string OR not a directory)"

That doesn't work if you define $SCRATCH_MNT - the directory check
fails on an empty string.

As it is, this isn't solving the underlying problem - that "empty
string" check is to avoid failing configs that are not configured
with a scratch device.  i.e. if you define SCRATCH_MNT, it must be a
directory. However, there's no check that if you define SCRATCH_DEV
you've also defined a SCRATCH_MNT...

IOWs, the underlying problem here is that SCRATCH_DEV is defined,
but SCRATCH_MNT is not and we are not catching that issue.  FYI, the
setup script is used for checking these sorts of things.  e.g.  with
an empty config:

$ sudo ./setup
Warning: need to define parameters for host test2
       or set variables:
               TEST_DIR TEST_DEV
$

And you'll note that it catches when we only have one of the two
necessary TEST_D* variables set.  However, even with XFS as the
probe fstyp, it doesn't error out if I don't define a SCRATCH_MNT:

$ sudo TEST_DEV=/dev/vda TEST_DIR=/mnt/test SCRATCH_DEV=/dev/vdb
./setup
TEST: DIR=/mnt/test DEV=/dev/vda rt=[] log=[]
TAPE: dev=[] rmt=[] rmtirix=[@]
SCRATCH: MNT= DEV=/dev/vdb rt=[/dev/vdc] log=[/dev/vdd]
VARIABLES: external=no largeblk=no fstyp=xfs
           large_scratch_dev=no attrsecure=no
$ 

But it should fail with a sane error message indicating that we
caught the invalid config and didn't leave check to fail randomly
wiht some downstream error like:

$ sudo TEST_DEV=/dev/vda TEST_DIR=/mnt/test SCRATCH_DEV=/dev/vdb ./check generic/120
....
check: failed to mount $SCRATCH_DEV using specified options
Passed all 0 tests
$

Another FYI: we can actually test any filesystem without a scratch
device configured:

$ sudo TEST_DEV=/dev/vda TEST_DIR=/mnt/test ./check generic/120
FSTYP         -- xfs (non-debug)
PLATFORM      -- Linux/x86_64 test2 3.18.0-rc2-dgc+

generic/120 16s ... [not run] this test requires a valid $SCRATCH_DEV
Not run: generic/120
Passed all 0 tests
$

So, really, all we need to do is ensure that SCRATCH_DEV/SCRATCH_MNT
are sanely configured...

Cheers,

Dave.
