The test 016 fills scratch device with some data and then creates xfs fs on the scratch device. Later, the test assumes that the previously written data are still in there and checks for them at specific locations. On ssd drive this will lead to failure since the blocks are discarded by default when the mkfs command is run. This simple patch that adds -K to stop the discarding (if the mkfs command supports it) fixed the issue for me: Signed-off-by: Boris Ranto <branto@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/016 b/016 index 9275ade..db76398 100755 --- a/016 +++ b/016 @@ -65,6 +65,8 @@ _init() $here/src/devzero -b 2048 -n 50 -v 198 $SCRATCH_DEV echo "*** mkfs" force_opts="-dsize=50m -lsize=$log_size" + # Do not discard blocks, we need them for further reads + _scratch_mkfs_xfs -N -K $force_opts >/dev/null 2>&1 && force_opts="-K $force_opts" echo mkfs_xfs $force_opts $SCRATCH_DEV >>$seq.full _scratch_mkfs_xfs $force_opts >$tmp.mkfs0 2>&1 [ $? -ne 0 ] && \ _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
