Sorry, I was a bit too vague. It doesn't have a file or stdin interface, as far as I know. btrfs-corrupt-block has your typical "kitchen sink of flags" interface and doesn't currently read input from streams/files. I extended that interface in the simplest way to support arbitrary corruption, which didn't fit with the stream based corruption this test does. my options seem to be: shoehorn the "byte, length" interface into this test or shoehorn the "stream corruption input in" interface into btrfs-corrupt-block. I have no problem with either, the former was just less work because I already wrote it that way. If the junk I did here is a deal-breaker, I don't mind modifying btrfs-corrupt-block. > > - Eric Thanks for the quick review, Boris
