And where the "cdcd" data is comming from ? Not from the
"pwrite -S 1 0 64k"
that's producing "0101".
(from man xfs_io)
-S used to set the (repeated) fill pattern which is used when
the data to write is not coming from a file. The default buffer
fill pattern value is 0xcdcdcdcd.
It's comming from
$XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "truncate 0" -c "pwrite 0 25M" $img
_mkfs_dev $img
so it does expose data written to the device prior the mkfs.
