I'm beginning to sound like a broken record. Why isn't this *invalid config check* being done in the config parsing rather than on every test that requires a scratch or test device? i.e. removing the check is not the correct fix - checking it during config parsing means none of these checks need to be done in _require_test, nor in _require_scratch_nocheck. i.e. in get_next_config() we already know the FSTYP, so we should be checking that: a) TEST_DEV is valid for fstyp b) SCRATCH_DEV (if configured) is valid for fstyp c) TEST_DEV != SCRATCH_DEV if they both exist and fstyp indicates they should be block devices And then we can pretty much assume that they are valid everywhere else, and _require_scratch_nocheck() simply needs to check for a non-empty string... > Signed-off-by: Omer Zilberberg <omzg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > common/rc | 6 +----- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 5 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/common/rc b/common/rc > index d5e3aff..b863808 100644 > --- a/common/rc > +++ b/common/rc > @@ -1104,7 +1104,7 @@ _require_scratch() > } > > > -# this test needs a test partition - check we're ok & unmount it > +# this test needs a test partition - check we're ok & mount if necessary > # > _require_test() > { > @@ -1138,10 +1138,6 @@ _require_test() > then > _notrun "this test requires a valid \$TEST_DEV" > fi > - if [ "`_is_block_dev $SCRATCH_DEV`" = "`_is_block_dev $TEST_DEV`" ] > - then > - _notrun "this test requires a valid \$TEST_DEV" > - fi > if [ ! -d "$TEST_DIR" ] > then > _notrun "this test requires a valid \$TEST_DIR" The patch is whitespace damaged.
