(BTW what's up with my other pending xfstests patches? Would you like me to resend a whole back with the reviewed-by lines merged in?) - Ted >From a1cd89ca74d8e8cd345b88e62a5eabab70aed62e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 21 Feb 2016 00:12:00 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] defrag: require falloc support for ext4 defrag The e4defrag program requires the use of fallocate. Certain ext4 file system configurations which don't enable extents do not support fallocate, so we should skip the defrag tests in that case.
