*Synopsis*: TSufs tests GFTS and Snapshots fail with ksh93 as /bin/sh

  Product: solaris

=== *Description* ============================================================
During qualification run of TSufs RC, GFTS and Snapshots tests failed on 
OpenSolaris 09.06. GFTS test excercises UFS growfs command, Snapshots test 
covers UFS snapshot feature.
It was found out that minimal change needed to avoid the failures was to 
replace /bin/sh (originally pointing to ksh93) with different shell (for 
example Bourne shell from Nevada).
Same way, replacing /bin/sh in Nevada installation (snv_124) with a link to 
ksh93 produces same failures in respective tests.

Test output suggests that writes to the raw device are not in fact written to 
the device. This results to inconsistent filesystem it both cases.
For commented test outputs please see comments.

=== *Public Comments* ========================================================
The issue appears only on OpenSolaris 2009.06. The issue is not reproducible 
with Korn shell 88 or on OpenSolaris 2008.11.
Also with latest Korn shell 93 integration package 
(ksh93_integration_20090922_snapshot_i386.tar.bz2), the issue is not 
reproducible.
