And here's the problem with committing 2 year old patches without
review:

$ grep "Can't initialize the DMAPI" [0-9]* | uniq
142.out.bad:Can't initialize the DMAPI
143.out.bad:Can't initialize the DMAPI
144.out.bad:Can't initialize the DMAPI
145.out.bad:Can't initialize the DMAPI
146.out.bad:Can't initialize the DMAPI
147.out.bad:Can't initialize the DMAPI
150.out.bad:Can't initialize the DMAPI
155.out.bad:Can't initialize the DMAPI
156.out.bad:Can't initialize the DMAPI
157.out.bad:Can't initialize the DMAPI
158.out.bad:Can't initialize the DMAPI
161.out.bad:Can't initialize the DMAPI
168.out.bad:Can't initialize the DMAPI
175.out.bad:Can't initialize the DMAPI
176.out.bad:Can't initialize the DMAPI
185.out.bad:Can't initialize the DMAPI

This breaks the dmapi mount error detection, and hence whether dmapi
is enabled or not in the kernel. The problem is this:

@@ -251,6 +277,7 @@ _scratch_mount_options()
 _scratch_mount()
 {
     _mount -t $FSTYP `_scratch_mount_options $*`
+    _setup_quota $SCRATCH_MNT
 }
 

means that callers no longer can check is the mount succeeded or not
by looking at the return of _scratch_mount(). Hence this code:

_dmapi_scratch_mount () {
    if [ `echo "$MOUNT_OPTIONS" | grep -c dmapi` -gt 0 -o \
        `echo "$MOUNT_OPTIONS" | grep -c dmi` -gt 0 ] ; then
        #already got dmapi options set
        _scratch_mount
        dmapi_mount_result=$?
    else
        _scratch_mount "-o dmapi,mtpt=$SCRATCH_MNT"
        dmapi_mount_result=$?
    fi

    if [ $dmapi_mount_result -ne 0 ] ; then
        _notrun "Assuming DMAPI modules are not loaded"
    fi
}

now fails to detect that mounts fail.

Can we revert this commit for now? If we really need this
functionality someone can fix the original patch and re-propose it...

Cheers,

Dave.
