[PATCH 1/3] 285: Fix test for ext4 in some configurations

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

 



In some configurations (e.g. 1 KB block size), ext4 can decide it is
better to zero out several blocks rather than splitting unwritten
extent. This changes results SEEK_HOLE / SEEK_DATA returns and thus the
test fails. Fix the problem by disabling the feature for this test.
