Description Boris Ranto 2010-12-07 12:51:07 UTC

Description of problem:
Xfstests 204 and 205 both fail on xfs filesystem that they created for testing because dd reports 'No space left on device'.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.18-233, 2.6.18-235

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the mentioned test 204 and 205 for xfs:
TEST_PARAM_RUNTESTS="204 205" make
2. Watch the output
  
Actual results:
No space left on device or disk full (that is just masked No space left on device)

Expected results:
Both tests pass

Comment 1 Dave Chinner 2010-12-07 23:44:38 UTC

Is this a regression due to commit c8786c0c ("xfs: Fix speculative allocation beyond eof")?

Comment 2 Boris Ranto 2010-12-08 18:37:12 UTC

No, it is reproducible in kernel-2.6.18-227 that should be without the fix. It is even reproducible in kernel-2.6.18-194.
I guess it was not reported earlier because it was considered to be a bug of test case.

Ok, so this has already been considered a WONTFIX issue for RHEL 5 codebase?

I'm not entirely sure but my search in bugzilla for WONTFIX rhel 5 bugs containing word "xfs" in comments didn't return anything similar to this so I guess this was not considered a WONTFIX, yet.
