These tests don't run on a ram disk because of the
_require_sane_bdev_flush() check in each of these dm-flakey tests
and so none of my DAX testing has tripped over this...
Because dm-flakey will not alow you to use DAX, there's not much
point in running these tests if the DAX mount option is enabled.
Hence I'd just add this to common/dm-flakey:
echo $MOUNT_OPTIONS | grep -q dax
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
_notrun "Cannot run tests with DAX on dmflakey devices"
fi
That way we have a clear reminder that these tests do not run with
DAX enabled and hence we are not doing crash integrity testing using
dm-flakey on DAX devices....
Cheers,
Dave.
