I hope this won't discourage you from keep writing more docs :-) _require_command "$CHATTR_PROG" chattr For the record, there is only one test that does this out of 38 tests that use chattr. As you have already realized, there are some good practices in xfstests that grew over the years, but some tests date back to before those practices and some tests we just did not review well enough... I feel the need to apologize for the number of review rounds because I keep noticing new nits. I am also new to this.
