From 39fa7d89bce582cca1b35f659b42cf4aa7456641 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2017 12:41:18 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] xfs/040: document purpose Getting xfs/040 to "pass" takes a bit of effort, however the effort to require updating xfsprogs is purely an xfsprogs maintainer task only. There no functional gain by users of xfs or a QA team to get this test to pass. This is not trivial from the current description so document this. Signed-off-by: Luis R.
