[PATCHSET 0/3] populate: fix a few bugs with fs pre-population

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
