Hi, I am running xfstests mostly just to exercise a low level driver, and I'm seeing failures on tests xfs/122 and xfs/253. I'm using xfstests, xfsprogs, xfsdump cloned fresh from the git repos listed here: http://xfs.org/index.php/Getting_the_latest_source_code git hashes: xfstests: 45d1fac1303acfa102384f48111dc3a458b93493 xfsprogs: 03e956b25243bf4aac034275f89a0f3f2712b79a xfsdump: b1d6979f1fae82acc79d27cf0add4d55da6d83cc I'm using kernel 3.16-rc1 on RHEL 6.5 on x86_64. I would expect that specific versions of xfstests, xfsprogs, xfsdump are meant to go with specific kernel versions, though it is not clear to me how to match these up in the general case. I guessed that "latest of everything" would have a reasonable chance of being a matched set. I'm running it by: "./check -g auto" with configs/localhost.config: [root@localhost xfstests]# cat configs/localhost.config TEST_DEV=/dev/sdc TEST_DIR=/mnt/test SCRATCH_DEV=/dev/sdb SCRATCH_MNT=/mnt/scratch I'm not very familiar with these tests, but it looks like xfs/122 is checking that some structure sizes specific to xfs are correct, and I'm struggling to see how a low level driver would break that test without breaking a lot of other stuff, so I'm thinking I can ignore that one (maybe the test is broken?) But I figured I should ask here in case I'm not correctly understanding what it's trying to test. xfs/253, seems to be testing some kind of filename hashing stuff. Do these failures seem plausibly attributable to a flaw in a low level driver, or are these failures known issues with xfs or with the tests, or is there something else I might be doing wrong? (It occurs to me now I should try the tests with a different driver and hardware and see how it behaves.)
