[PATCH] ext4: use mkfs.ext4 -F instead of piping in yes

[PATCH] ext4: use mkfs.ext4 -F instead of piping in yes

[Theodore Ts'o]

Using "yes | mkfs.ext4 ..." results in the error message results in
the test failing, at least for some versions of e2fsprogs:

    +yes: standard output: Broken pipe
    +yes: write error

It better to use the -F option, which will eliminate the questions.

Looks good, but maybe we should have a $MKFS_EXT4_PROG variable similar
to $MKFS_XFS_PROG so that we can set this in one place?

Agreed, I'll send a separate patch to fix that.   One amusing thing:

% git grep mkfs.ext4
common/rc:_scratch_mkfs_ext4()
common/rc:      _scratch_mkfs_ext4 $*
common/rc:# this test requires the bigalloc feature to be available in mkfs.ext4

common/rc:         || _notrun "mkfs.ext4 doesn't have bigalloc feature"
common/rc:      _scratch_mkfs_ext4 -O bigalloc >/dev/null 2>&1

tests/ext4/306:mkfs.ext4 -F -O ^extents,^64bit $SCRATCH_DEV 512m >> $seqres.full 2>&1

(note the btrfs test is the one place using and defining MKFS_EXT4_PROG :-)

Why wouldn't you just use the "-n" option? If bigalloc is not
supported, that should still fail, right?

Good point.  We still need to make the file system for
_require_ext4_bigalloc, but there's no need to create one for
_require_ext4_mkfs_bigalloc.

This throws lots of rejects with all the other patches I've already
queued up. Can you rebase it and resend it when I push out my

You're not going to apply this one until I send out the rebased
version of the 1/2 version of this patch series, right?  Because this
one depends on MKFS_EXT4_PROG...

No, I haven't applied it, just put it at the end of the patch

Thanks for pinging me; I've been so busy these past few weeks I forgot
to check to see if the fstests repo had been updated.  I see you did
so quite a while ago, my bad.

[PATCH 2/3] ext4: use mkfs.ext4 -F instead of piping in yes

[Theodore Ts'o]

Using "yes | mkfs.ext4 ..." results in the error message results in
the test failing, at least for some versions of e2fsprogs:

    +yes: standard output: Broken pipe
    +yes: write error

It better to use the -F option, which will eliminate the questions.

[PATCH 3/3] ext4: speed up _require_ext4_bigalloc and _require_ext4_mkfs_bigalloc

[Theodore Ts'o]

We don't need to make a full-sized file system in order to test
whether "mkfs.ext4 -O bigalloc" works.
