Looks like it's just copying a file and finding the destination still empty;
expected/actual output diff from xfstests is:
e11fbace556cba26bf0076e74cab90a3 TEST_DIR/test-430/file
e11fbace556cba26bf0076e74cab90a3 TEST_DIR/test-430/copy
Copy beginning of original file
+cmp: EOF on /mnt/test-430/beginning which is empty
md5sums after copying beginning:
e11fbace556cba26bf0076e74cab90a3 TEST_DIR/test-430/file
-cabe45dcc9ae5b66ba86600cca6b8ba8 TEST_DIR/test-430/beginning
The test script there is:
echo "Create the original file and then copy"
$XFS_IO_PROG -f -c 'pwrite -S 0x61 0 1000' $testdir/file >> $seqres.full 2>&1
$XFS_IO_PROG -f -c 'pwrite -S 0x62 1000 1000' $testdir/file >> $seqres.full 2>&1
$XFS_IO_PROG -f -c 'pwrite -S 0x63 2000 1000' $testdir/file >> $seqres.full 2>&1
$XFS_IO_PROG -f -c 'pwrite -S 0x64 3000 1000' $testdir/file >> $seqres.full 2>&1
$XFS_IO_PROG -f -c 'pwrite -S 0x65 4000 1000' $testdir/file >> $seqres.full 2>&1
$XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "copy_range $testdir/file" "$testdir/copy"
cmp $testdir/file $testdir/copy
echo "Original md5sums:"
md5sum $testdir/{file,copy} | _filter_test_dir
echo "Copy beginning of original file"
$XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "copy_range -l 1000 $testdir/file" "$testdir/beginning"
cmp -n 1000 $testdir/file $testdir/beginning
If the client is just failing to notice when a newly created file's size is
grown as the result of a COPY, then I wonder why the first copy (of "file" to
"copy") didn't also fail.
--b.
