Does that actually happen? Looking at the code the sub() is called from df_verify() that calls df always with exactly same parameters twice so we always end up with matching units or am I mistaken? > > Also does this work for other filesystems than ext2?

Are you OK that I send you the new patches about > them(ext2, ext3 and ext4)? Sounds as a good start. If you add an parameter to specify fs to test we can easily extend it for any other fs as well later on. -- Cyril Hrubis chru...@suse.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Ltp-list mailing list Ltp-list@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ltp-list
