Came across this thread again. I had patches on the list a while ago to fix it up. [PATCH V2] xfstests: make 275 pass But it never got fully reviewed or merged. :( -Eric >> So doesn't a failure on ext4 indicate that there's something wrong >> with ext4 (either it's ENOSPC detection or the short write >> handling), not the test? > Actually in my test, ext4 can create the file with 8K file size, not a > short write.
