The xfs super block and the log are written from special +# purpose buffers which are not part of the regular cache. +# +# Since unmount flushes and removes all cached data, the only time the +# inconsistency shows up is if you look at the block device while the +# fs is mounted. A consequence of this is that regression test number 17 +# in the test suite will now fail - since it does precisely this. +# +# I hope to fix the super block one at least at some point, this will +# make xfs_db on a running fs more useful, but the log may never be +# fully coherent with the block device interface... +# +# Steve + +_notrun "Test (temporarily) retired - refer to comment in test script" + # real QA test starts here _require_scratch -- 2.39.5
