Hi Matthew, it looks like there are a number of problems with this patch series when using the ext3 backwards compatibility mode (e.g., no extents enabled). So the following configurations are failing: kvm-xfstests -c ext3 generic/091 generic/240 generic/263 It looks like the main issue is related to fsx failing. On v5.4-rc3 the following command: fsx -N 10000 -l 500000 -r 4096 -t 512 -w 512 -Z -R -W /vdd/junk ... has the following result: root@kvm-xfstests:~# mount /vdd [ 9.366568] EXT4-fs (vdd): mounting ext3 file system using the ext4 subsystem [ 9.385537] EXT4-fs (vdd): recovery complete [ 9.389219] EXT4-fs (vdd): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
