I run "mount" and found that devtmpfs is mount on /dev/ on opensuse

df still showed devtmpfs.
Any ideas to kick off the xfstests?
At least with the df which ships with Debian Testing, df will display
the file system in use if it matches the device name which is
/etc/mtab. It looks the issue is that mount is canonicalizing the
device name to be the human friendly version:
# ls -l /dev/mapper/closure-bigscratch
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Nov 16 15:15 /dev/mapper/closure-bigscratch -> ../dm-7
<tytso.root@closure> {/home/tytso/bin}, level 2
# mount /dev/dm-7 /u2
# df /u2
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/closure-bigscratch 52403200 224772 52178428 1% /u2
# grep /u2 /etc/mtab
/dev/mapper/closure-bigscratch /u2 xfs rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota 0 0
So the simplest solution is to just use /dev/mapper/mpatha instead of
insisting on using /dev/dm-0. That's what I do....
In xfstests/common.rc, it will use realpath to obtain /dev/dm-0, even if you
specified /dev/mapper/mpatha.
My problem is in SuSE, the devtmpfs is mounted on /dev by default, seems
used by udev. And df reports devtmpfs on /dev/dm-0, instead of ext4.
What version of xfstests are you using? Do you have a
"README.device-mapper" file in the base directory? If not, upgrade
to the latest version and retry.

xfstests: support post-udev device mapper nodes
Because of udevs complaining device mapper now creates /dev/dm-N as the real
device nodes, and just symlinks the /dev/mapper/ names to it. This would be
easy if everything used the /dev/mapper clear names, but most system utilities
translate them back to the /dev/mapper/ names and thus confuse various test
cases. Add support to _is_block_dev to read symlinks, and add documentation
on how to run xfstests on device mapper volumes.

Recent "realpath" changes also went in:
b03c662399956609934ff063e9064e15dc7459ac xfstests: fix to build src/realpath and the correct the existence of target devices
d5ea873fcbf00b841f0511a26fb341364a5c6425 xfstests: resolve symlinked devices to real paths
so either of those could have broken and/or fixed it for you :)
Yup, those are almost certainly the patches that broke device mapper
support. There' aren't changes to common.rc, so I didn't notice them.
They basically override the fix that Christoph made to support
/dev/mapper links properly.
I'd suggest a revert is in order, the two patches above were part
of Rich's hovering of old, unreviewed patches. This problem was
already fixed in a different way by Christoph, so adding these
patches was wrong.
Fine with me ...
Ryan, can you test w/o those, and if it works -
Rich, can you revert those please?
Sure, I will wait to hear from Ryan first.

Cheers,
