This problem is common to all filesystems. Why do we want to force all mkfs.* maintainers to link with some global library that checks all registered FSs and see existence of an FS, something like blkid. Why not link that library to the driver "mount" command, and not call the mkfs.$type in question at all unless say --force flag is supplied. This way I fix this test for all FSs past and future. (Should I send a patch?)

How to support both places for sbin? All we really want is the mkfs filesystem type, i.e. the ${FS} in mkfs.${FS} So sed -e 's/.*mkfs.//g' should work, awk -F . '{print $NF}' would work too $ cat mkfses /usr/sbin/mkfs.ext4 /sbin/mkfs.ext4 $ cat mkfses | awk -F .

So if all those other mkfs.* that are destructive to > foreign filesystem, should the test not fail instead of skipped? mkfs.xfs & mkfs.btrfs are the only filesystems I know of which check for an existing format before proceeding, so they are the only ones tested. Any other fs is skipped, because they are not designed to do what this test is... testing for. > Maybe if the maintainers of all these filesystems day in and day out running xfstests and > see shared/032 failing, they might decide to fix their evil ways. Instead of skipping the > test and the said maintainer just ignores it? I think it's just a design decision. There's no actual requirement to warn about overwriting a format, so not doing so is not a failure or a bug, IMHO. -Eric > Thanks > Boaz > > --- > diff --git a/tests/shared/032 b/tests/shared/032 > index a410003..726e6b4 100755 > --- a/tests/shared/032 > +++ b/tests/shared/032 > @@ -37,8 +37,8 @@ rm -f $seqres.full > . ./common/filter > > # real QA test starts here > -_supported_fs xfs btrfs > +# _supported_fs xfs btrfs > _supported_os Linux > > _require_scratch_nocheck > _require_no_large_scratch_dev > @@ -49,8 +49,7 @@ if [ "$FSTYP" == "btrfs" ]; then > _notrun "Installed mkfs.btrfs does not support -f option" > fi > > -echo "Silence is golden." > -for fs in `echo ${MKFS_PROG}.* | sed -e 's/.sbin.mkfs.//g'` > +for fs in `echo ${MKFS_PROG}.* | sed -e 's/.usr\/sbin.mkfs.//g'` > do > preop="" # for special input needs > preargs="" # for any special pre-device options > > _______________________________________________ > xfs mailing list > xfs@oss.sgi.com > http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

First of all it's not only about other file system, but any common signatures which the test is ignoring. Moreover ext4 is looking for existing signatures, but will not complain in case it's run without the console attached to it so it does not break existing scripts. > > > Maybe if the maintainers of all these filesystems day in and day out running xfstests and > > see shared/032 failing, they might decide to fix their evil ways.

Exactly, also as I said above mkfs.extN is checking for signatures, but at the same time we can not break scripts people has been using for lifetime. -Lukas > > -Eric > > > Thanks > > Boaz > > > > --- > > diff --git a/tests/shared/032 b/tests/shared/032 > > index a410003..726e6b4 100755 > > --- a/tests/shared/032 > > +++ b/tests/shared/032 > > @@ -37,8 +37,8 @@ rm -f $seqres.full > > . ./common/filter > > > > # real QA test starts here > > -_supported_fs xfs btrfs > > +# _supported_fs xfs btrfs > > _supported_os Linux > > > > _require_scratch_nocheck > > _require_no_large_scratch_dev > > @@ -49,8 +49,7 @@ if [ "$FSTYP" == "btrfs" ]; then > > _notrun "Installed mkfs.btrfs does not support -f option" > > fi > > > > -echo "Silence is golden." > > -for fs in `echo ${MKFS_PROG}.* | sed -e 's/.sbin.mkfs.//g'` > > +for fs in `echo ${MKFS_PROG}.* | sed -e 's/.usr\/sbin.mkfs.//g'` > > do > > preop="" # for special input needs > > preargs="" # for any special pre-device options > > > > _______________________________________________ > > xfs mailing list > > xfs@oss.sgi.com > > http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs > > > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe fstests" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

This is not the proper patch just to show a working version for Fedora. But I think it now breaks the other ARCHs. What happens is that the output of ${MKFS_PROG}.* is: /usr/sbin/mkfs.bfs /usr/sbin/mkfs.btrfs /usr/sbin/mkfs.cramfs /usr/sbin/mkfs.ext2 /usr/sbin/mkfs.ext3 /usr/sbin/mkfs.ext4 ... So in Fedora sbin has moved to /usr/... and therefor the sed below fails. My sed foo is not good enough. How to support both places for sbin? Also why the "_supported_fs xfs btrfs"? So if all those other mkfs.* that are destructive to foreign filesystem, should the test not fail instead of skipped? Maybe if the maintainers of all these filesystems day in and day out running xfstests and see shared/032 failing, they might decide to fix their evil ways. Instead of skipping the test and the said maintainer just ignores it?
