generic/255 currently fails on Btrfs on a ppc64 machine with 64k page size and hence 64k block size. generic/255 has been written to test the corner cases for 4k block size. I did try to make it work with variable sized block sizes, But I got stuck working with md5sum (since we would need two sets of md5sums, due to _test_generic_punch() being invoked with and without '-k' option per block size). Since 4k block size support for Btrfs on ppc64 is already being worked on, I think its better to prevent execution of generic/255 for block sizes greater than 4k. Apologies for not including the above description in the patch. - chandan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
