Hi all, While I was auditing the efficacy of the xfs repair tools I noticed a few deficiencies in the code that populates filesystems, so I fixed them. Most notable are the fact that we didn't create fifos, messed up blockdev creation, and while the cache tags should record the size of external devices, the actual device names aren't exciting. If you're going to start using this mess, you probably ought to just pull from my git trees, which are linked below. This is an extraordinary way to destroy everything. Enjoy! Comments and questions are, as always, welcome. --D kernel git tree: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfs-linux.git/log/?h=random-fixes xfsprogs git tree: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfsprogs-dev.git/log/?h=random-fixes fstests git tree: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfstests-dev.git/log/?h=random-fixes --- common/populate | 22 ++++++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
