If the test setup doesn't have a disk large enough, then the test should be skipped. That's what '_require_scratch_size' is for. i.e. _require_scratch_size $larger_than_ext4_fg_size Will do that check once we've calculated the size needed. > But sure, I will add a comment explaining why we have hardcoded it to 4096 > so that others don't get confused. Larger than this size disk anyway doesn't get > tested much right? You shouldn't be constricting the test based on assumptions about test configurations. If someone decides to test 64k block size, then they can size their devices appropriately for the configuration they want to test. If a 64kB block size filesystem can overrun the on-disk structure and fail, then the test should exercise that and fail appropriately. Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
