I've put both your two previous xfsdump patches and the all your xfstests changes into the kernel.org repositories. They all look fine to me. Btw, one thing I'd love to see is a script that uses the userspace iscsi target (tgt) infrastructure to emulate a tape, and thus allow to run the tape tests in any VM without requiring a real tape device. Maybe there is someone on the list feels challenged by this? _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
