Currently the -X option is intended to specify a set of expunging files which are stored in each test/* subdirectory. As described in the commit description for 0b1e8abd4, in order to exclude the test generic/280, the -X option is used as follows: $ cat tests/generic/3.0-stable-avoid 280 $ sudo ./check -X 3.0-stable-avoid generic/280 However, it is sometimes useful to store the set of expunged tests in a single file, outside of tests/* subdirectories. This commit enables the following: $ cat /root/conf/data_journal.exclude generic/068 ext4/301 $ sudo ./check -E /root/conf/data_journal.exclude -g auto Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@xxxxxxx> --- check | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/check b/check index e7ace63..b1eaed2 100755 --- a/check +++ b/check @@ -81,6 +81,7 @@ testlist options -g group[,group...] include tests from these groups -x group[,group...] exclude tests from these groups -X file exclude individual tests + -E external_file exclude individual tests [testlist] include tests matching names in testlist ' exit 0 @@ -222,6 +223,11 @@ while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do done done ;; + -E) xfile=$2; shift ; + if [ -f $xfile ]; then + cat "$xfile" >> $tmp.xlist + fi + ;; -s) RUN_SECTION="$RUN_SECTION $2"; shift ;; -l) diff="diff" ;; -udiff) diff="$diff -u" ;; -- 1.9.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
