All this, just to avoid testing on an invalid block size when CRCs are enabled. I really don't see why this needs changes to generic infrastructure - it's a test specific problem. How about you simply reverse the block size order that is tested, and capture the output of the actual mkfs command that is being tested, and determine if 512 byte block sizes should be tested based on that output? i.e. for b in 4096 2038 1024 512; do if [ $b -eq 512 -a $_fs_has_crcs -ne 1 ]; then break; fi .... mkfs -b $b .... . $tmp.mkfs done Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
