Hi all, This patchset fixes the code that manages prepopulated fs images so that it deals with external log devices properly. The cached image generator requires a clean filesystem, so it's safe to reformat the external journal whenever we restore a cached image; this fixes various regressions when external journals are in use. 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 fstests git tree: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfstests-dev.git/log/?h=cached-image-external-log --- common/config | 1 + common/fuzzy | 2 +- common/populate | 49 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- tests/xfs/129 | 3 ++- tests/xfs/234 | 3 ++- tests/xfs/253 | 3 ++- tests/xfs/284 | 3 ++- tests/xfs/291 | 3 ++- tests/xfs/336 | 3 ++- tests/xfs/432 | 3 ++- tests/xfs/503 | 9 +++++---- 11 files changed, 62 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-)
