Yes, it's a a type of validation, but I see it as a completely different class of validation. That is, one set of tests is doing boundary condition testing on the ioctl (i.e. does it reject invalid input?), the other is doing behavioural tests (i.e. does it behave correctly on different types of inodes given otherwise valid input?). > > > +seq=`basename $0` > > > +seqres=$RESULT_DIR/$seq > > > +here=`pwd` > > > +echo "QA output created by $seq" > > > + > > > +. ./common/encrypt > > > > This is not the way to include all the required scripts, as I > > mentioned in my last email.... > > > > Also, please do not gut the test script preamble - it's there in the > > new test template for good reason and that is that all the common > > code that is included relies on the setup it does. e.g. this means $tmp > > is not properly set, so any common code that has been included that > > does 'rm -rf $tmp/*' if going to erase your root filesystem. > > > > Will do.

It is required to be set in every test. The common code is unlikely to need to do something like "rm -rf $tmp/*" but it does require it to be set. The rm -rf commands are more likely to be found in test specific _cleanup functions which should be defined immediately after $tmp.... > What would be nice is for there to be a preamble that all the tests source that > handles these boilerplate tasks.

Yes, that's a good idea...
