Sorry, one more detail - I have my test setup so that both my scratch device and my test device are partitions on my PMEM ramdisk. export TEST_DEV=/dev/pmem0p1 export TEST_DIR=/mnt/xfstests_test export SCRATCH_DEV=/dev/pmem0p2 export SCRATCH_MNT=/mnt/xfstests_scratch function xfstests_init { parted -s $xfstests_dev mktable msdos parted -s -a optimal $xfstests_dev mkpart Primary 1 4GiB parted -s -a optimal $xfstests_dev mkpart Primary 4GiB 7GiB if [[ $test_fs == "xfs" ]]; then mkfs.xfs -f $TEST_DEV mkfs.xfs -f $SCRATCH_DEV elif [[ $test_fs == "ext4" ]]; then mkfs.ext4 -F $TEST_DEV mkfs.ext4 -F $SCRATCH_DEV elif [[ $test_fs == "ext2" ]]; then mkfs.ext2 -F $TEST_DEV mkfs.ext2 -F $SCRATCH_DEV else echo "Invalid test fs '$test_fs'" fi } _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
